While it may seem an unusual suggestion,The
Light Code Review action research has proven its worthiness to the extent that I can encourage women who would not otherwise consider themselves researchers to take up its process and apply it to their lives. This is third article encouraging women to use the three steps of action research: discovery, measurable action, reflection to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of their decisions. The first two articles discussed discovery and measurable action and now we move on to reflective practice which is not unusual for women, who are more inclined to be writing in journals than their male partners. Action research, however, suggests that women can take this already good practice one step further by using their reflective writing as data.
The first two articles discussed the discovery and measurable action steps of three women pursuing one cycle of action research to help with the issues in their lives. Woman A. was confused about what she wanted to do with her life and so she went to the library and bookstore during her discovery phase and took some measurable action by going further to a trade show in discussing with the people they are what their work lives were like.
Woman B. has a problem she's trying to solve. During the discovery phase she researched what others in similar circumstances had done, they strategic plans, and during the measurable action phase took her first few steps with mixed results. Woman C. is soon to retire. During the discovery phase she looked into what others do to make their lives fulfilling in retirement and reawakened an interest in crafts. Her measurable action steps were to attend various local groups centered on activities she might like to take up. She measured her journey through the community, the people she met, and her gut level feelings about whether or not their activities were interesting to her.
