Students will experience (a) collecting information, (b) conducting a diligent literature search and review, (c) reflecting critically, (d) making decisions and inquiring collaboratively, (e) investigating and data-analysis, (f) participating in interpretation, and (g) drawing conclusions, thus providing meaningful recommendations to stakeholders and equipping these leaders to “take action.” Action research may be engaged as a developmental process that systematically increases the scope of the investigation.
