Workflow
- Diagnose the classroom problem.
- Define action goal and intervention strategy.
- Plan cycle: plan -> act -> observe -> reflect.
- Define evidence sources and evaluation indicators.
- Draft implementation timeline and ethics.
- Create paper structure: problem, action, evidence, reflection, improvement.
Tool Calls
Project tracking:
Notion, Airtable, Excel/Sheets
Classroom evidence:
Observation forms, student work rubrics, interviews, reflective journals
Analysis:
SPSS/R for simple pre-post data; NVivo/MAXQDA for interview/reflection coding
Output Format

Include:
- Teaching problem statement
- Action plan
- Evaluation indicators

- Practice-paper outline
Quality Rules
- Action research must show change over time, not only describe a lesson.
- Include teacher reflection and evidence of student response.
- Keep claims local unless evidence supports broader claims.
