The next step in the dialectic action research spiral is data collection. Naima is considering age discrepancies in her mixed age groups as an area of focus for her study, so the first step would be to collect data on the age ranges of the students in each group. This data will inform the development of an action plan to address the issue of age discrepancies. After the action plan is developed and implemented, Naima can then analyze and interpret data to determine the effectiveness of the plan.
