RESEARCH PROPOSAL ASSIGNMENT
DUE: 12/03/2018 5PM
SUBMIT ON BLACKBOARD
For this assignment, you will draw on your lessons from the topic development and data collection you did in the course to write a 10-13 page (double-spaced) proposal outlining details that you propose for a 4-month study. In this proposal, you will be expected to include the following:
I. Introduction and research question: Offer a brief context for your topic. This can include some interesting current event that is connected to your topic, relevant brief historical details, and/or the setting up of the broader theoretical, political or social issues or conversation your question is attempting to address. This introduction should then clearly lead into your research question. In other words, your articulation of your research question should naturally flow from the introductory context you set up. State the research question clearly. You must include citations for any claims you make!
II. Rationale/Significance: Explain to us the significance of your project. Some ways you can think about this question; you don’t have to answer all of these:
a. Why is your study original?
b. Why is it important to ask this question you are posing? What would it help us understand better?
c. Why is doing it qualitatively a valuable contribution?
d. Are the participants or site something other scholars haven’t considered but should? Why?
III. Literature Review: Provide a brief overview of the bodies of literature that will be informing your project. This is an outline of your literature review so remember, this should only be references to secondary and scholarly sources (e.g.—NOT newspapers). Cite some examples (5-7) of the scholarship you would use. Answer the following:
a. Which areas of scholarship (disciplines, sub-disciplines, schools of thought, areas of study, etc.) will you be drawing from?
b. Why are you drawing from these? How does it help inform your work?
c. What are the broader discussions, debates, conversations, etc. that these bodies of literature are having about your topic?
d. What will be your study’s contribution to this discussion? In other words, what do you think is missing in their scholarly conversation? What haven’t they tackled (or adequately tackled) yet?
IV. Methods: In this section, provide full details about your methodological approach to this study [JUSTIFY EVERYTHING].Answer the following:
a. What will be the fieldsite for your study? A center? A government agency? A building? Some meeting? Explain briefly why this would be appropriate for your study.
b. Who will be the participants in your study? Whom will you observe? Whom will you interview? Provide number of individuals, positions, etc. Explain why you are making these decisions.
c. Which methods will you be using? Why? Provide details. How many hours/days will you spend doing participant-observation? How many semi-structured interviews? If relevant, what kind of material culture data do.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. 1. What are the similarities and differences between the psychometric tradition, naturalistic inquiry and action research?
Psychometric Tradition
Naturalistic Inquiry
Action Research
What are they about…?
About measuring psychological properties such as attitude. It has been also called as Experimental and Quantitative Research.
About analyzing the purposes of teaching and learning instead of the purposes of investigating behaviors. It has also known as Qualitative Research.
About changing and improving teaching and learning . It includes systematic procedures for collecting data and understanding their meaning in a local context.
Similarities
Psychometric Tradition and Naturalistic Inquiry can be part of the Empirical Research where research is based on the collection and analysis of data. All of them value students’ view and accomplish the same stages during the Research: Design, Data Collection and Analysis.
Differences
It values objectivity.
The data are typically numeric.
It values subjectivity.
Its main concern is capturing qualities and attributes.
It has a more immediate and practical focus. Its results may contribute to emerging theory and understanding phenomena.
4. 2. Identify a research question that would be most appropriately studied in the psychometric tradition and one that would be best investigated using naturalistic inquiry.
•Psychometric Tradition:
How much do results in the English class improve when students use a text book?
•Naturalistic Inquiry:
Should teachers create their own students book if their school does not have enough resources? Would it help to improve students learning process?
5. 3. Identify and discuss 3 – 5 key issues that you’d like to see addressed by classroom researchers or that you yourself would like to investigate in your classroom.
•Is the “lack of resources” in public schools an excuse for teachers not to propose new strategies in order to facilitate learning?
•Should parents have also access to English Language Training in order to support their children at home?
•Many teachers complain about the few hours to work in English at school, how to extend this time by taking advantage of students interest in the use of technology?
•How effective would be to work collaboratively with other subjects and teachers to create a bilingual environment at school?
6. 4. What is your view about objectivity and subjectivity in research? Can you see a place for subjective data and interpretations or should all research be objective in nature?
In the real daily life, human beings are exposed all the time to decision making and before doing it, we are evaluating pros and cons and we face an internal fight between what we must do (objective) and what we want to do (subjective), but finally, what comes to be the best option for any field, is to find a balance between both and always have in mind that the core principle must be to have a clear goal in everything we say and do, to establish specific parameters and being coherent.
When we talk about Research, many people could say that Objectivity fits more, but we, teachers, understand that our research processes are aiming in a 100% the benefit and success of our students and that includes to act regarding their needs, interests, motives, attitudes, personalities because when it is about humans, we cannot be simply objective.
