Preliminary work for my thesis

Here are some possible topics I have been listed down:

1. Facilitating the development of TPACK through Blended Project-based learning among ESL pre-service teachers.
2. Facilitating the development of TPACK in ELP course using BL environment among pre service teachers.
3. Facilitating the development of TPACK in Blended ELP course among pre service teachers.
4. Facilitating the development of TPACK through Blended Project based coursework among ESL pre service teachers.

Note:  Topic number 1 & 4 would require me to get the permission to use the sample from IPGKBA

After doing some readings and thinking and assessing my options, I have finally (may be) decided to work on the following topic:

Facilitating the development of TPACK and achievement in ELP course using BL environment among pre service teachers

So, the aims of the research derive from this topic are:

1. To identify if BL environment helps to facilitate the development of TPACK among pre service teachers.
2. To identify if BL environment helps to enhance pre service teachers' achievement in ELP course

The objectives are:

1. To investigate the feature of BLe in ELP course which help to facilitate TPACK
2. 
   
3. 
   
4. 
   
5. 
   
6. 
   
7. 
   
8.  

Questions - I will need to find the answers!

1. Does BL environment in ELP course help to facilitate the development of TPACK among pre service teachers?      

       If yes,

• What are the features of BLe in ELP course?
• How does BLe in ELP course help to facilitate TPACK?
• Which feature of BLe in ELP course help to facilitate TPACK?
• How do you measure the development of TPACK?

      If no,

• What makes it fail?
• What are the constraints?

   2.  Does BL environment help to enhance the achievement of the pre service teachers in ELP   course?

       If yes,

• What are the components of ELP taught and learned in the BL environment setting?
• What are the instruments to be used to measure students' achievement in Blended ELP course?
• How does BL environment help to enhance the achievement of pre service teachers in ELP course?

I was thinking of using mix method for data analysis later.  But I am keen in doing qualitative research so that I don't have to have a controlled group to compare the results.  However, since I am taking Quantitative Research Methodology class with Dr Nabeel Abdelaziz and have to submit a proposal using quantitative method, I might as well write my hypotheses.

Null hypotheses:

1. There is no significant effect in using BL environment in ELP course on the development of TPACK among pre service teachers.
2. There is no significant effect in using BL environment in ELP course on the students' achievement.

So, based on these two hypotheses, I need to prove otherwise.
