In this article, the author poses the following questions: When was the last time you sat back and contemplated how effective your teaching is? What methods have you used to determine how students learn and apply their knowledge? and Have you investigated the effectiveness of your newly implemented curriculum based on Standards for Technological Literacy? Pre-service and practicing teachers may or may not have engaged in this type of questioning or investigated what works best and why. For varying reasons, technology education, as an entire field, is lacking in these action-related, researchable areas. In this article, the author discusses why teachers should care about action research.
