Teacher as a ResearcherMiriam M. Mohr through her journal reflections discovered teachers can be action researchers in the classroom by carefully observing and reflecting on the learning process that takes place within students, one self as "the educator" and the classroom. Likewise, she states there is a.."close relationship between the writing process and the human growth process"...thus through reflective observations of that relationship one can learn much more about the process and help students become successful Her reflective discoveries led her to empower her student and take ownership of their learning. By keeping a journal of the context and discoveries she too became a learner and a model student for her students.We should consider keeping a journal in the classroom and writing our own observations in the context of our community as a school and be on the path of action research as well
