I am beginning to think about all the options I have so that I will not be pressured to be given a class to teach to collect my data. Last weekend while doing my chores at the kitchen I suddenly thought about the problems I saw lie in the students when I taught the KPLI group. What bothered me most at that time was their ability to give clear instructions to students as well as to ask the right questions to engage the students in their learning.
Asking the right questions vs Asking the questions right.
Giving the right instructions vs Giving the instructions right
If I were to do research based on the problems above, I would probably need to
- observe teachers'/lecturers' use of instructional language / questions in engaging the students in their learning. (Use checklist? Video tape? Look for keywords used?)
- give out questionnaires for students / teachers to answer (who is my sample then?)
- Interview lecturers? / Students?
On the other hand, I may want to explore on QUALITY FEED BACKS or ONLINE COURSEWORK.
