Sally is a 3rd grade teacher who is also the classroom coordinator of a new student teacher, Sam. This student teacher is in his fourth year in the teacher education program and he has recently joined Sally's class to gain some experiences in teaching. Sam immediately faces problems in the classroom. It seems that he easily loses control of the students and this loss of control leads to further acting up. It is embarrassing for Sally who hears from other teachers that she is having a "free for all" in her room whenever Sam teaches. Sally would like to study her own classroom and make some changes to help Sam become a better teacher.
Sally observes Sam teaching several periods in the 3rd grade room. She also asks Sam to write down in a personal journal his feelings about what is occurring in the classroom during the periods Sam is teaching. Sally then reviews student test scores on material after Sam teaches. This step of action research is ________.
