Q Each student will prepare a 5-8 page research paper based on an actual interview you conduct with a K-12 teacher. The interview should focus on the teacher's natural philosophy (their values, attitudes, and beliefs) on any topic covered in our class. Any issue is fair game (e.g. intelligence, learning disabilities, full inclusion, motivation, standardized testing etc.). You then prepare a formal paper integrating your interview with material from our class and at least 5 outside primary source references. There are three phases to this requirement; Phase 1. You choose a topic and develop a draft of your interview questions. These questions are presented to the class for discussion and revision. This is worth 25 points. Phase 2. You conduct and transcribe the interview . This is ungraded, but will be reviewed to make sure you have enough detail to relate to research in the field. Phase 3. You prepare a formal research paper integrating your interview with outside research and class information. The outside research should consist of primary source (e.g. journal articles) material, preferably empirical studies. The final paper is worth 125 points.
