MED 595
Assignment #5

1. To further our exploration of qualitative research methods, please read the Action Research introduction followed by Maggie Lambert's How do teachers manage to teach? Perspectives on Problems in Practice.

2. Please read and critique the recently submitted Master's project on high stakes assessments and their impact on classroom practice. By "critique" I'm asking you to consider our work thus far and what you've learned about the structure and contents of research reports, as well as the rubric for MED 690 that was shared at the start of the course. Your critique can be a series of notes in the margins using the note feature of Adobe reader, or some other mechanism of your choosing.

3. Lastly, please read my qualitative paper on implementing reform curricula in two local schools.

 

As you begin to think about what you might research for your project, it might help to browse the titles of published articles to see if any spark your interest. Below are a couple of links to research journals in mathematics education.
