As described by Mertler and Thompson, action research data collection is an approach that empowers teachers and improves schools in genuine and sustainable ways. It enables teachers and school leaders to act as researchers within their facilities, testing their ideas, identifying growth opportunities, and making informed decisions directly impacting students' experiences. By engaging in an active action research cycle, teachers better understand their student's diverse needs and acknowledge the responsibilities that come with this understanding. 

The beauty of this approach lies in its continual nature; it involves observation, planning, action, and reflection, constantly adapting and improving based on what is learned. Fostering a belief in formal learning enhances both well-being and professional development. Mertler and Thompson Thompson reinforce the idea that education should focus on internal solutions, empowering teachers with a deeper insight into the realities of their classrooms. Action research represents a necessary change in education from within, promoting a healthy and safe environment.

In early childhood education, particular emphasis is placed on developing language and math skills during the early years of life. In a diverse and technology-rich school environment, it is crucial to explore various educational approaches that strengthen each student's capabilities, including those with special needs.

The present study addresses the implementation of a blended learning model that incorporates station rotation and interactive applications, fostering meaningful, child-centered teaching at the preschool level. By employing mixed methods, this research aims to measure not only language and math skills but also students' overall experience in the classroom. By examining these dimensions, the study seeks to contribute to the body of knowledge regarding best practices in early childhood education and provide a framework for strategies that promote active participation and child-centered learning.

As I move forward with my innovation proposal to enhance early language and math learning skills through blended learning and interactive applications, I recognize the importance of contextualizing my findings in relation to my existing educational practices. My technology integration proposal transforms how students interact with information and fosters a talented and inclusive learning environment.
