Some questions/issues to consider while discussing the readings:
Yesterday we continued discussing
the topic of 'understanding', last night's 1st reading followed this
line of inquiry but also described learning and understanding in less
formal settings than what we've discussed in the past--discuss different
types of learning and understanding and how the author learned from
his family and schooling.
What is educational research? Why
do we do it? Is it worthwhile?
How do we better align educational
research and practice?
List 5-10 ethical issues that must
be considered when conducting educational research?
Yesterday in group discussion the
issue of ethics came up--specifically in the context of someone pointing
out that essentially data can be manipulated to tell a different story
depending on who is doing the story telling? Is this a good/bad thing?
Why?
Complete with a short Powerpoint.

Groups present to the class their research ideas, and any
initial questions they have made.
Aman shows us how to use templates.
