Methods+p1

This is the place for first period's recording of their findings from the first group activity.

Please click on the discussion tab. In your group come up with a title for your study. Your group members will be replying to the original post, that way it will stay threaded. Please only reply to your own group's thread. Do not divide up and each of you answer a few questions, this must be done collaboratively. Try to reach consensus and then post.

The questions to be collaboratively answered in your thread (in order!) are: 1. A detailed summary of the phenomenon and studies of it. 2. Determine what the research objectives were (what were they trying to determine?) 3. What happened in the study? 4. Were there any design flaws? 5. What were the findings? 6. Do you think that this experiment could be done today (why, why not?) 7. Why was this study so important?

Your homework for Friday is to read and take notes on pgs 25-30 for college prep. If you prefer to read online, here are Dr. Mitchell of Clarion University's really nicely organized notes on the topic of research methodology notes. On Monday your group will be presenting your findings to the entire class.
