  3. Q-Card Discussion in Base Groups • Whatdid I connectwith in the text? • Whatwasproblematic? Difficult to understanding? (if any) • How do I applythis to everydayteaching / life experiences?

  4. Chapter 5The 40-20-40 Rule • In preparing to undertake research: • 40% is planning to collect the information • 20% is collecting the information • 40% is making sense of and writing about the information collected

  5. Seven Key Planning Decisions • 1)establish the research question • 2)design the study • 3)select research methods for collecting information • 4)decide how much information is needed • 5)decide how to analyze the information • 6)consider practicalities • 7)incorporate collaborative processes

  6. The Research Question • Investigators place signposts in their research to guide the reader • The research question is the first signpost; this is a broad question that asks for an exploration of the central phenomenon or concept in a study (sometimes called the grand tour question) • The research question is the anchor

  7. One or Several Research Questions • In addition to the grand tour question, researchers sometimes employ secondary questions to help structure what they are addressing • In developing a research question, remember the importance of funnelling―going from the broad to the narrow

  8. Are the following questions too broad, narrow, or just right? • 1.What marketing strategies does the Coca-Cola company currently apply? • 2. What is the Coca-Cola company's future marketing plan? • 3. What marketing strategies has the Coca-Cola company used in the past?

  9. Are the following questions too broad, narrow, or just right? 1. Do children sent to daycare or pre-school start kindergarten with more developed skills?2. Do children sent to daycare or pre-school start kindergarten with more highly-developed language skills?3. Do children sent to daycare or pre-school start kindergarten with larger vocabularies?

  10. Additional Points to Consider • 1)Does your question capture exactly what you want to know? • 2)Is the question specific enough to be manageable with the resources available? • 3)Is the project likely to gain the necessary ethical approval? • 4)What is the practical importance of this question? • 5)What is the theoretical importance of this question? P.78 Robinson and Lai
