Expand the Future Action Plan (began in Module 3) section to include a complete action plan, including goals and objectives; the force field analysis table, and 1-2 paragraphs elaborating on the contents of the table.
In the Future Action Plan, present preliminary ideas for evaluating the summative outcomes/evaluation of the plan.
Conclude the paper with a section titled Conclusions, Discussion, or Summary that recaps the entire research process and includes reflections.
Review your action research paper, and submit the entire paper in this module.
How to Conduct the Force Field Analysis
Enter the goals and objectives for your action plan (action to be taken to solve the problem) in the top cell of the force field analysis table provided. State your objectives in measurable terms. Elaborate on these entries in at least one narrative paragraph.
Use the force field analysis to determine factors that may drive or prevent the success of your action plan. Driving forces are different than objectives and are conditions at the beginning and/or during the initiative that may help in achieving goals and objectives. Restraining forces, in turn, are conditions before and during the initiative that could get in the way or make it more difficult to succeed. Think of as many things as you can that could either help or present barriers. This will prove easier and yield a longer list if your goal is narrowly defined and your objectives are specific. List these forces in the table and elaborate on your entries in a narrative paragraph.
After brainstorming, first examine the list of barriers, or restraining forces, and determine which among these forces are within your control. Eliminate those that are not within your control by drawing a line through them. (Use strikethrough feature in Microsoft Word.)
From what remains on the list, think about how you can take advantage of the driving forces and work to minimize the restraining forces, as you move forward carrying out the action you are planning.
