CEP 822 Approaches to Educational Research Instructors: B. Gleason, L. Wolf When looking at the required courses, this was by far, the least appealing. I was pleasantly surprised, however, to find that not only did I end up enjoying this course, but that I also learned quite a bit. While teachers do not typically use educational research, it is a valuable tool that I have been using since taking the course. In the course, I created a Research Action Project focused on the Accelerated Reader Program. I have used this research, and the research techniques, through my recommendations and suggestions about technology integration in our school. I am able to make my case for or against certain tools based on facts and research, which makes the choices more sound and reasonable.
