Transition of teacher-led, action-oriented classroom research to a virtual space

Abstract

This case presents a journey through some of the stages of teacher-led, action-oriented classroom research spurred by a critical reflection of the surrounding educational landscape with the hope of increasing teacher and student agency toward transformation and growth. Pedagogies that are deemed transformative and inclusive were identified through literature review and used to promote such transformation. A sudden shift in the teaching and learning landscape due to a global pandemic challenged this research project. With continuous reflection and a few changes in how the research was conducted and data collected, the struggles encountered are viewed as opportunities for personal and professional growth and transformation.
