Faculty often use anecdotal information to make decisions about how to improve their teaching and/or course designs. This session will introduce a more systematic action research framework for making instructional decisions and lead you through a process to help you identify areas for improvement in your course. You will learn how to design a mini educational research study and information about how to collect and analyze data for investigating instructional problems will be provided.
