Implementation of Action Plans -- Did the Plans End up in a Drawer?
Ask, Anne Selvik; Valand, Ida Ulrikke; Aarek, Ingebjørg
Journal of the International Society for Teacher Education, v23 n1 p27-38 2019
The University of Agder has organized five courses in entrepreneurship (2012-2017) for teachers in primary and secondary school. Emphasis has been on student-active teaching methods, and each participant developed an action plan for entrepreneurship in their schools. The aim of this research was to investigate what happened to the action plans: were the plans implemented or placed in a drawer? What support did the participants receive, and what challenges did they meet? A questionnaire was sent to all course participants (n=126) using SurveyXact, asking about the action plans: Were they implemented, partly implemented, or put aside? Most respondents (87%) implemented or partly implemented the plan. Those who implemented the plan received support from their management and/or colleagues. Attending the course with a colleague increased the implementation rate. Common challenges were time, uncooperative colleagues and students, and lack of support from the management.
