Area of research for PhD????? To soon??

I went to see Prof RM on Monday 28/12/2009.. needed to have her signature for my annual performance report. I voiced out my intention to pursue PhD under her supervision... "Well, depends" she said smilingly. Then she asked me what I taught for KDC. I mentioned I taught ICT in BM focusing on PBL. Prof said PBL could be my angle of research for my further study.

Prof 's comment for chapter 5

Dear Hana,



I have looked at chpt 5, just wondering if you feel that

you have answered the "So what?" question.

Were you able to bring the literature and the theory

to support your discussion and conclusion.



all the best.

What is the implication of this research. Refer back to your significance of study.

How is this finding going to be useful to anybody who would like to set up a CoP

for teachers or students. What are the things that you can recommend to them

based on your experience and research findings.

You may want to add more to the conclusion. What lesson did you learn,

how is this going to be of use to anyone. Please elaborate on the

statements that you made.

Prof's comment - received on 16/10/09

Dear Hana,

Please look at the tracking in the documents to see my comments and if there is any suggestions for improvement on specific table, or figure or section, please do it for all . Your report can be improved by:

1. Using an appropriate APA style and be consisten.

2. The language structure and style of writing to be consistent.

3. The belending of data to support each other, instead of reporting interview and content analysis separately.

4. Interpretation and implication of each stage of the report

5. Summarize each stage of data reporting.

6. Recommendations and conclusions need to be beefed up.

7. Chapter 5, think about the "so what question" that your readers may ask after reading your report. Is it useful? how does it contribute to the field, to the practitioners, to other people who woul dlike to carry out similar exercise.

Regards,

RM
