First, I worked on getting my topic paper and needs analysis papers finalized. Who knew you needed a period after a level three heading?!
After this was complete, I spent Monday and Tuesday nights working on creating my needs analysis tools. I created a survey for my students about their accessibility to the internet and other technology tools. I also asked them to provide any experience that they have had in the past using web-based study tools and applications. The students were also asked how they usually study for a math quiz or test, and whether they felt like they would be likely to use a web based study tool. I actually assigned the survey to my students over the weekend, so I will be able to start looking over the data this week.
I also made a rubric for observing my student's note-taking skills. This way I have a concrete way to collect data on my student's current note-taking strategies.
I also spent some time looking into what Southern requires for parent consent for research involving our students. I talked to Dr. Brahn about what was required or what forms may be available at Southern. She said that when she did her research, she created her own permission form that she sent home to parents. She said she'd look into it further for me, but I also plan on talking to my supervisor about it today.
The last research based item I worked on this week was my research article critique. I found two articles that I wanted to look at deeper. I started critiquing the articles, and have narrowed it down to one of them. So my goal for this afternoon is to write up the critique and submit it a few days early.
