Introduction

Your current submission cites research from 1996 (close to 25 years old) that references the use of calculators when your research problem focuses on 1:1 implementation Recommendation: Use the ISTE Standards or current research to make your case as to the current role of digital resources in the current decade.

Your current submission states, “Research has shown both positive and negative impacts of technology implementation on student achievement.”, but there are no sources. Recommendation: Cite reputable sources for this claim.

 

Your current submission states, “For all students of mathematics the calculator is an essential

tool.” This leads the reader to assume falsely that the study is focusing exclusively on the effect of calculator use on student achievement in mathematics.

Recommendation: Find a quote that addresses the broader issue of digital teaching and learning involving 1:1 implementation.

 

Statement of the Research Problem

Your current submission describes in detail a past study which is  not  the purpose of the Signature Project Stage 1 Chapter 1 submission. Recommendation: The purpose of this section of the Chapter 1 submission is to justify briefly and concisely the rationale for your study leading to the following: The purpose of this study is to ______________. You are writing a research proposal for a hypothetical quasi-experimental or experimental study that has not been implemented, not summarizing in extensive detail someone else’s study.

 

Data and Identification of the Problem

Your current submission refers to this section as Data Graphic and Discussion and proceeds to describe in extensive detail the justification for this completed study, methodology for this completed study, the subjects for this completed study, and finally the data generated from this completed study. Recommendation: Display Figure 1 and Table 1 and provide a two or three paragraph (maximum) summary of the data that argues how the data from this study supports your research problem statement. The final paragraph should read, For this study (meaning, your hypothetical study), the following question was addressed: ________? As part of this study, the investigation included one research hypothesis: _______________.

 

Impact on Student Achievement

Your current submission reports the findings from one completed study even though the research literature contains hundreds of studies investigating the impact of digital tools and resources within a 1:1 environment on student achievement.

Recommendation: Reference briefly the findings from the completed study and how it corroborates with findings from other research studies investigating the impact of digital learning within a 1:1 environment on student achievement.

 

Research Method

Your current submission does not include a research method for your proposed hypothetical study. Recommendation: Add a section entitled, Research Method.

 

Summary

Your current submission does not summarize the key areas of your research proposal including problem statement, findings from preliminary data, implications for student achievement, and proposed methodology. Recommendation: Revise the summary.
