  24. Preliminary Research Proposal I. Research question: Type research question or engineering goal here. Be sure it is clear, focused, concise and complex. II. Overview of Research • What specific area within the field will be investigated, researched and/or studied? • What resources will be used to acquire knowledge in the field?[print, non-print, human, be specific] • What real problem/need will be solved/addressed? III. Primary Research Methodology What research methodology will be used to answer your research question?[research design: descriptive, historical, experimental, correlational or causal-comparative.] What data will be collected and analyzed? [qualitative/quantitative data] [data collection: survey by questionnaire, interview or observation/experimental notebook]

  25. Preliminary Research Proposal IV. Significance of Research (So What?) • Why is the proposed problem important? • Who is the intended audience of the project? • Why is this audience an appropriate choice? Why/how will they benefit from the project? V. Product Overview • What product do you propose to communicate your research? [fundraiser, science fairs, HoCo Film Festival, seminar, mentor specific product, published article, scrapbook of event/performance, documentary, website, published paper, National History Day, music composition, or other original work] . Due to mentor by Friday, November 15 Due Date: Thursday, November 21, 2013

  26. Collecting and Compiling DataG/T Research Program

  27. Data Collection Part of your research experience is collecting data. This data collection process contributes to the “original research” piece of your final paper and product. There are various methods and tools that you may use to collect your data. • Surveys • Questionnaires • Interviews • Data collection notebook (observational/experiential) • Research Studies (meta-analysis)

  28. OPTION #1: DATA COLLECTION NOTEBOOK Marble notebook/70 page spiral notebook filled with dated, recorded observations, experiment descriptions, and/or plans/processes related to your creative endeavor. (blog and/or scan documents if including in electronic portfolio) WHO MIGHT USE THIS TOOL? • Students involved in something related to art, music, dance, theater, etc. may consider this tool. • Students working in labs, conducting experiments may consider this tool.

  29. OPTION #1: DATA COLLECTION NOTEBOOK REQUIREMENTS: • Observe a group or individual, have a minimum of 5 observations of the person or individual, with detailed notes regarding exactly what happened. Each observation should open with a focus question and notes should relate to that question. • In art, music, dance, theater etc., data collection must be dated with a minimum of 10 entries spanning 10 weeks of data collection. Include observations, sketches, rough drafts of ideas, etc. • Conducting an experiment?—scientific, social, behavioral, etc.—the data collection notebook should serve as a lab notebook. Include all procedures, methods, data, reflections, etc.

  30. OPTION #2: TRANSCRIBED INTERVIEWS All transcriptions must follow the same format instructed for the previous interview assignment. WHO MIGHT USE THIS TOOL: • Students involved with observation and have access to human resources may consider this tool. • Students whose research would benefit from interviewing experts/professionals in the field of study may consider this tool.

  31. Language Distinction “A surveyis the process of describing some aspect of a population based on a sample; whereas, a questionnaireis simply the instrument [tool] used too accomplish this mean.To expand on this, a survey is an overall methodological choice to study and/or answer specific questions about a population. A survey encompasses various elements: sample design, data collection methodology, data collection instrument, analytic techniques, etc. A questionnaire is one form of data collection instrument.” http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_questionnaire_and_a_survey

  32. OPTION #2: TRANSCRIBED INTERVIEWS REQUIREMENTS: • A minimum of FIVE properly transcribed interviews must be submitted. • Each interview must be with a different individual. • All interviews should be conducted with either professionals knowledgeable in the field or specific individuals with direct knowledge related to your research.

  33. OPTION #3: QUESTIONNAIRES Questionnaire may be conducted electronically or on paper. If possible, avoid sending to other schools. Base the survey in your own school or a club, team, or group in which you participate, either in school or in the community. WHO MIGHT USE THIS TOOL: • Students who are looking to determine the opinions of a large group of people to support or refute an idea related to their research may consider this tool. • Students who are looking for specific statistical information that relates to their own local population ( ie. relating your topic to your school) may consider this tool. REQUIREMENTS: Student must collect at least 50 respondents.

  34. Questionnaire Considerations Purpose of a survey for your project • Include results in the research paper • Identify a viable product for your mentor • Audience: students, teachers, professionals • Permission: my approval, principal approval, mentor approval, internship site, etc.

  35. OPTION #4: RESEARCH EVALUATION WHO MIGHT USE THIS TOOL: Students who are doing science research where an authentic research experiment is not possible may consider this tool. REQUIREMENTS: Evaluate at least FOUR research studies from peer reviewed journals that focus on your topic. Summarize the studies. Discuss how they related to your research questions, areas of overlap between them, and areas where they differ. What are the implications of the results and how does this review help you answer your research question?

  36. Data Collection/Analysis Requirements All students must complete original data collection for the final paper. This assignment will be turned in separately from the synthesis paper (literature review) and will be due in March (3rd marking quarter).
