The document discusses methods for conducting primary research using Bizup's BEAM framework and sources for looking forward. It outlines interview, survey, observation, and analysis as primary research methods and provides examples of how to plan and conduct each method. Additionally, it recommends current community sources, white papers, and organizations to find proposed solutions and look forward.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
4. Using BEAM Sources
•Provide context
•Used in the introduction to orient your reader to your topic
and your paper
Background
•Used for the basis of your original analysis
•The basis of your “voice” in the conversation
Exhibit
•Understand how your topic has been treated by others
•Identify gaps in current understanding of your topic
•Place your own analysis in the context of scholarly discourse
Argument
•Provides information to conduct your own analysis or
fieldwork
•Provides validity for your methods
Method
5. Looking Backward
•Provide context
•Used in the introduction to orient your reader to your topic
and your paper
Background
•Understand how your topic has been treated by others
•Identify gaps in current understanding of your topic
•Place your own analysis in the context of scholarly discourse
Argument
6. Looking Forward
•Used for the basis of your original analysis
•The basis of your “voice” in the conversation
Exhibit
•Provides information to conduct your own analysis or
fieldwork
•Provides validity for your methods
Method
8. Interviews
• One-on-one or small group question and
answer sessions. Interviews will provide a lot
of information from a small number of
people and are useful when you want to get
an expert or knowledgeable opinion on a
subject.
Example: Interviewing a Latinx community
member about how they self-identify.

9. Surveys
• A form of questioning that is more rigid than
interviews and that involve larger groups of
people. Surveys will provide a limited amount
of information from a large group of people
and are useful when you want to learn what
a larger population thinks.
Example: Survey of college students about
experiences with misinformation.

10. Observations
• Involves taking organized notes about
occurrences in the world. Observations
provide you insight about specific people,
events, or locales and are useful when you
want to learn more about an event without
the biased viewpoint of an interview.
Example: Observing activities students engage
in while in the library.

11. Analysis
• Involves collecting data and organizing it in
some fashion based on criteria you develop.
They are useful when you want to find some
trend or pattern.
Example: Collecting and analyzing social media
posts about immigration.

12. Exercise
• Discuss with Your Neighbor:
– Your topic
– A primary research method you would be
interested in pursuing

13. Planning and Sources for Primary
Research
Interviews
• Brainstorm questions
• Look for example interview questions
Surveys
• Look for example surveys
• Brainstorm questions
Observations
• Determine location
• Determine focus of observation
Analysis
• Determine what you will analyze
• Collect artifacts for your analysis
14. Exercise
• Find information that will help you with your
methods:
– Purdue OWL
– Survey bank
– Internet searching

15. Looking Forward
• Current and community based sources:
– Identify current/anticipated issues and trends
– Identify potential approaches/proposed
solutions to an issue or problem
• Sources for Looking Forward:
– Guidestar
– White papers
– Organizations and government
