The Action Research project is a major research effort designed to enhance knowledge in an area related to one's work or community and provide research skills to assist in effective decision-making. The adult learner completes a research project related to his/her employment environment. Statistical analysis concepts and methods assist the adult learner in identifying a topic, collecting data, and measuring results. A college facilitator monitors the progress of the independent study, and an on-site contact makes certain that the adult learner devotes at least 200 clock hours to the project. An oral report of project findings is given by each adult learner in this semester. [Gateway Adult Learning Program]. (5)
