What? (What did I find?) (4 themes found from the interviews- make headings for each theme and use supporting data, quotes from interview respondents and from reviewed literature provided)

The goal of this section is to illustrate what you have learned as related to your critical question. Use your data to tell the story of your research and support your conclusions. This section is the heart and soul of your action research paper. This is where you tell your story.
The section is rich in voice, style, and data. Remember the writing advice: show, don’t tell as you write. Interweave important data into your narrative. Include tables, charts, and quotes from interviews and your observations and reflections (use quotes to make it look natural e.g., according to respondent 1, according to the respondent from a teaching background). Use your data to illustrate your ideas, and to provide the reader with the freedom to draw his/her own conclusions as well. Explain how you interpret your data (refer to the methods- word document attached). Support your interpretations with examples. Use multiple data sources to support major assertions or ideas. Include multiple voices and perspectives, including those of critical colleagues, students, and the literature.
This section shares what you have found during your inquiry project, organized in a logical way that helps readers better understand the answers participants (or other forms of data collection) gave. Report what you learned from conducting the project by answering three basic questions:
1. What? (What did I find?) (4 themes found from the interviews- make headings for each theme and use supporting data, quotes from interview respondents and from reviewed literature provided)
2. So what? (What do these findings mean to you and to others?)
3. Now what? What should I do after I make sense of the findings?
Explain what you discovered in detail. You can use narrative, quotes from the data sources, tables, and/or charts to display your data and provide evidence for your findings. You should relate these findings back to your research question. There are a number of right ways to share your findings. The task is, to be honest, rigorous, and systematic.
In this section, work to answer the following questions: What are you going to do as a result of your experiences? What will you do differently? How will you apply what you have learned? Now that you have gained knowledge, what corresponding responsibilities do you feel called to embrace?
