Check out my research plan. It's a little rough but workable.
Goal: The intent of this inquiry is to consider whether student responsibility and/or motivation predicate a comparable level of academic performance.
Action Steps(s):
- Define personal responsibility,self-motivation, and academic performance.
- Collaboration with all stakeholders to ascertain what the above definitions look-like
- Design survey to measure personal responsibility, self-motivation, and academic performance.
- Survey to parent, teacher, student
- Meet with PEIMS and site supervisor to facilitate computer generated sample meeting criterion. Draft, review and create invitation letters to potential participants
- Send letters to parents, potential participants, and teachers with return date within two weeks. - Also provide information meeting during this time
- Identify participants, gather data in regards to student performance for 09-10 school year
- send survey to participating stakeholders
- disaggregate data from survey
- gather data in regards to student performance for 10-11 school year for all MP ,
- If necessary, provide social skills and academic skills coaching for students/parents
- send survey to participating stakeholders
- disaggregate data and complete research report
Timeline for the entire project is 10 months.
Motivation is always a factor in success in my opinion. I am interested to see data that supports this.
ReplyDeleteI like how you start out with the definitions and the survey to the parents/students. I would love to see what you have so I could incorporate it with my research to motivate students to use the matrix system. The goal is to have them see the connections between the effort you put in and the academic performance.
ReplyDeleteIn this day and age, it just might be necessary to provide some social skills. Good social skills it seems, should lead greater self confidence and hence higher academic performance. Good luck:)
