week5.pptxMoving Forward!
Building off the literature:
The sources you have and the groupings of them you have created AKA schools of thought are the jumping off point for your own research!
You should use them to:
Determine which variables matter
Determine how previous scholars have measured or assessed those variables
Now you need to:
Determine how you want to measure these variables!
Determine where you will get the data needed to do so!
Assess if there any other variables you want to include in your analysis and locate literature on those variables!
First Steps:
Take out your assignment for today!
Take a look at the schools of thought you have created and for each generate:
A list of the key independent variables scholars in that school of thought highlight as important factors for understanding your question.
Next:
Share your ideas with someone nearby!
Swap papers, have them look at your schools of thought and list of variables and provide each other feedback on the following:
Do the schools of thought as currently conceived make sense?
Are the sources sited within each school of thought appropriate scholarly sources?
Do the variables identified seem to be clearly affiliated with the schools of thought? Do any seem unrelated? Are any variables highlighted in a school of thought missing from your partner’s list?
Homework Task:
Outline and Research Design!
Build on today’s activity
Think more about how the scholars you have cited have measured these variables, how you will measure them, and where you will get the data needed to do so!
Remember next time you have 1 on 1 meetings with your professor.
BE ON TIME FOR YOUR MEETING!
RJ 104 will be open for the entire class period for any students who want to use it to work in and/or to discuss their project and receive feedback from their peers.
