Action Research Project - first day

Today I collected students’ ARP forms that they were suppose to take home and have signed by a parent or guardian. This form gives me as an instructor to collect and analyze student data for my Master’s Action Research Project through Saint Mary’s University. In order to do this in a timely manner I had given the forms to first semester teachers of World History so that I could start my project as soon as possible. However, I realized that not all of the first semester teachers of World History had handed these out to their students. Other students had forgotten to get these signed and I also had a number of new students who did not have a World History class during the First Semester. Because of these problems, I have had to delay the beginning of my research collection because I would like to make sure that all of my students in the experiment group have access to the resources that I will be implementing. I have a feeling that if I started the data collection before all of the forms were turned in that my results may be skewed.
