Presenting Results
Writing about your findings, particularly when dealing with qualitative data, can be challenging. You might feel overwhelmed by the volume of information, unsure how to present it all coherently. This is why it’s crucial to remain focused on your research question as you sift through your data. While you should take note of significant but tangentially related details, prioritize the information that directly responds to your research question.
As part of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) process, sharing your project and its outcomes is expected. This dissemination is a fundamental aspect of action research and serves as a valuable opportunity for reflection. Duesbery and Twyman (2020) offer several tips to keep in mind for effectively sharing your project and its results.

Remember:
Research is only research when it is shared with others. This is particularly true for action research which is a more collaborative endeavor. Make room for people to ask questions about your practice, and they will question their own (Duesbery and Twyman 2020).
