Q Reader Response Discussion Four Due date: Complete by Sunday before midnight. There is no need to reply to classmates for this post. Every week you will be asked to discuss what you have read. Here are the criteria: Minimum 450-500 words, use the same terminology found in the textbooks, answer the prompts below. Make sure all your posts are free from grammatical and spelling errors. The next few weeks we will begin to develop material using primary research. To get you started please review the following link. Read the information in the Purdue OWL website. What is Primary Research? https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/conducting_research/conducting_primary_research/index.html Surveying: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/conducting_research/conducting_primary_research/surveying.html Creating Good Interview and Survey Questions: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/conducting_research/conducting_primary_research/interview_and_survey_questions.html One of the ways we will collect primary research is collecting data from a survey. We will use Survey Monkey (free version, which allows for 10 questions) Here is a Tutorial to help you develop the 10 questions: What do you want to learn from the topic you have selected to work on for this semester? Use this space to brainstorm potential questions, the direction of your research, and what you want to investigate further. Think about this discussion, as part of the building blocks for Module 3: Local Fieldwork: “Students will identify a social, political, or ethical issue related to their local community or partnering agency. As part of this assignment students will generate research questions pertaining to the topic and their inquiry. Local research may include field observations, consulting local and primary sources, collecting surveys, and conducting interviews.” Please answer each of the following questions below to get your started. Remember this is still a work in progress and you are not bound to this brainstorming session. Provide detailed answers to help you expand this discussion later in the semester. Where do I start? (from Purdue OWL: What is Primary Research and How do I get Started?) Consider the following questions when beginning to think about conducting primary research: • What do I want to discover? • How do I plan on discovering it? (This is called your research methods or methodology) • Who am I going to talk to/observe/survey? (These people are called your subjects or participants) • How am I going to be able to gain access to these groups or individuals? • What are my biases about this topic? • How can I make sure my biases are not reflected in my research methods? • What do I expect to discover? ________________________________________
