Ensuring the trustworthiness of data
in action research includes such strategies as the 
diversification of data sources and types, spending enough time in the field, the repetition of action 
cycles, detailing data collection and analysis processes, checking if the data obtained from different 
sources confirm one another, and supporting the interpretations with direct quotations from the 
participants (Gürgür, 2017). In the present study, great attention was given to diversifying data sources 
and types, including the researcher, 
Teacher C.
, students, and the 
Validity Committee
. Data collected from 
these different sources were checked continually in terms of if they confirmed one another. All the 
interpretations made about data were also supported by direct quotations taken from the opinions 
expressed by the researcher, 
Teacher C.
, and students. The simultaneous use of these data sources and 
types made significant contributions to establishing the trustworthiness of findings. Moreover, the ten -
week cycle of action plans implemented in the research has been described in detail. Finally, all the data 
obtained during the study, and the comments made about them were transformed into findings after 
they were shared and discussed at the 
Validity Committee
meetings.
 
Results
 
Figure 4 reflects the chronology of findings obtained in this study. Accordingly, in this section, 
the pre-measurement results are presented first (
findings related to the first sub-question
). Next, the ten 
action plans implemented in the study are introduced (
findings related to the second sub-question
) with the 
opinions of the researcher, 
Teacher C.
, and students regarding their implementations in the classroom 
(
findings related to the third sub-question
). Later, the post-measurement results are shared, and the pre- 
and post-measurement results are compared (
findings related to the fourth sub-question
).
