You spent the second half of class working in groups on your research proposals. (see last chapter in Mertens). My homework regarding these discussions is to send references to:
- Laurelle on narrative research, life course development + memory
- Simone on commenting on texts
- Jen on assessment/design of poetry courses
- Wayne on high stakes testing = the validity, purpose + how/whether low scores correlate with low grades & other measures of success
- Jackie on mixed method studies to do research on assessing effect of teaching methods/new courses
I will also bring a sign up sheet for the conferences Monday April 30.
For next week come to class prepared to workshop some of your writing for the first section of the proposal + some ideas writing for the methodology section. We will work on designing your research intstruments.
Read: Mertens, Ch 14 Research instruments; Selfe & Selfe, 739; Wysoki, 717 , Yancey, 791
Great class (as always) and see you next week.
