Planning Research

What do I need to think about when I am planning research.

Firstly, what is my question? What am I trying to learn about.

'Why is the internet so full of contradictory information?"

What sources can I use to find out about this?

Internet - what websites might I use? Google, wikipedia (I need to think of more - perhaps once I have used google I will have a better idea of what websites there are)

People - who can I ask? Teachers? Other students. Who might know about this? ICT teachers and students are most likely to know about the internet.

Plan: Interview ICT teachers and students to find out what they think about contradictory information on the interent

But there are a lot of ICT students. Revise plan: Survey ICT students

Learning Journal Help

Your journal is the ongoing record of all the work you do throughout you inquiry. You should be writing reflections that comment on the process and the progress that you are making as an individual and as a team.

Each entry in your journal should include the following:

1. Description of what happened at the mentor meeting (if you had one that day)

2. Record goals/objectives for the upcoming week

3. Any idea/action carried out

4. Reflection on what you have done this week

Use the following as a guide for writing your reflections:

- What did you do?

- What did you think?

- What didn't you do?... and what could or should you have done?

- What decisions did you make as a group?

- What did yo decide to change and what are the reasons for making the change?

- Were there any problems? How did you deal with them? What did you learn about yourself? Which skills did you use well? (communication, social, thinking, research, self management?)

- What made you happy, annoyed, frustrated, angry, nervous disappointed, proud...?

- Where are you going next?
