=Welcome to Your Wiki!= ====** Week 13/ 17 of RP, Week 2 Term 2 ** ﻿Last week you should have handed your teacher a draft of your Research outcome. It can be 1500 written words report, or the multimodal/oral up to 10 minutes. If you have not completed this, you must do so as on as possible.This week work on editing your draft research outcomes, as well as organising your folio for assessment. __//** FOLIO **//__ In your Folio you will need for the SACE Board a maximum of ten A4 pages (written) //or// a maximum of 10 minutes, or the equivalent in multimodal Yourteacher and student select evidence of the research development.The evidence selected may include material from the proposal. Digitally recorded evidence or written notes, or a combination of these, to a maximum of 10 minutes of continuous recording or two A4 pages in printed copy, or equivalent. Notes may be made before, during, and/or after one or two formal discussions. Your folio for Teacher Assessment can contain as many pieces of evidence required to substantiate your research.This can include journal entries, written notes, articles, photocopies with annecdotal notes, photographs, videos, interviews, surveys etc.In your folio use sticky notes or small texts boxes to show where you hjave evidence of the performance standards.You will need to use the following Performance standards in your folio: P1, P2, A1, A2, and A3, from the planning and Application perfomance standards columns. ====

Week 11

 * Your draft of your Outcome should include**
 * 1) **Into to what you are doing and why.**
 * 2) **4 guiding/ focus questions outlined**
 * 3) **Any sources you will use under each**
 * 4) **Quotes, paraphrasing, citing shown**
 * 5) **Report genre means maps, graphs, statistics etc can be included to support your position**
 * 6) **Referencing list begun - with annotations.**

Use language to reflect critical thinking e.g "After analysing these results I decided to ...."
Formalise language by nominalising - eg informal language "Water erodes soil" becomes formal, more academic language "Erosion of soil can be caused by water" The simplest way to explain the process is "Nominilisation is the formalisation of writing into more academic writing by changing VERBS into NOUNS!!

__Week 8 Research Development.__ WHS Research Project Moderation / Ethics Committee 18/3/2011 The WHS Year 12 Research Project Teachers met last Friday morning to discuss all the Year 12's Research Proposals. The teachers included; Karen McInnes, Jakub Tengdahl, Steve Jordan, Geoff Street, Robyn Hewitson and Caroline Woud.

These teachers discussed as a "WHS Ethics Committee" all students proposals. Most of the proposals were approved by the Ethics Committee, however there are a few proposals that have been rated as Pending Approval. The proposals that are Pending will be discussed with students involved by their teachers, to clarify some ethical considerations, or choice of topics.

The following points have been proposed by the Year 12 WHS Research Project Teachers for students:
 * That the WHS Research Project (RP) staff are concerned about the implications of any breaches of the ethical conduct of research and procedures for individuals.
 * The WHS RP staff as a group will approve, not approve or indicate as pending every research project student’s proposal.
 * Students need to have any surveys or interview questions approved by the student’s teachers and verified on the SACE record sheet.
 * All students are explicitly made aware of their ethical considerations and responsibilities.
 * Methodologies used to research sensitive topics (e.g. suicide, homophobia, involvement in war, bullying. . .) will be examined to ensure all ethical responsibilities are addressed.
 * We do not endorse the use of experiments that may endanger the mental, physical and / or emotional well-being of the researcher or participants.
 * Need to check proposals where the questions are similar or the same. E.g. Euthanasia not legalised in SA, Illuminate, music styles affecting behaviour, public fund raising.

**Action:** Caroline Woud will develop a generic WHS consent form for WHS RP students who want to interview or survey people. This will be published on the wiki pages within the next few days.

<span style="color: #009300; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Remember the 6 steps of RBL? = DLSOPE

This week you will need to make an appointment time with your teacher to have a formal discussion about your Research Project.

**Week 5 Research Folio development.**
In your Research development this week, you may wish to find out peoples understandings and perceptions about your particular topic. Using an online survey tool is one environmentally friendly way of conducting your research. There are a range of survey templates available for you to access or you can create a new one of your own using a selection of question types. Questions can include short or long answers, multiple choice, yes and no, date and time, address or rating scales. Some tools will also assist you in the collation and analysis of your research survey answers, including graphs and statistics. Remember to get permission from people you survey by including a brief statement at the start, explaining your purpose for the survey and asking for permission to use this information in your Research Project for your Year 12 SACE Subject. Some online surveys include: [|Zoomerang]<span style="color: #0007ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Online surveys and polls free for up to 100 responses. You can either use email adresses to send them, or add it to Facebook like I have in the example below.

Take my Zoomerang survey!
[|Research Project and the New SACE.] [] Hi everyone, I have created an online survey using zoomerang, to see if it is useful for students in the Research Project. Could you please take a moment to answer 5 short questions about the New SACE Research Project. Please answer honestly and ethically, without hurting my feelings too much:) Cheers Caroline Woud

=== Survey Monkey is another online survey tool that is useful in collecting Research information. [|Survey Monkey] === Welcome to Survey Monkey ! What's Next?: Create a Free Survey in 3 Simple Steps 1. Choose Your Theme 2. Add your questions 3. Collect Response

=Week 4 - By now you should have -=
 * 4 weeks of journal entries
 * 5 annotated articles from Ebscohost about your topic
 * a concept map with main topic and 4-5 subheadings which will become guiding questions.
 * 5 whys answered
 * 5 ways to evaluate the credibility of a website
 * working on your hypothesis and guiding questions, using Ms Woud's 4mat sheet

<span style="color: #22232a; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">2 Capabilities for the Research Project This week you will need to identify the possible opportunities to develop the 2 capabilities in your research topic/question and consider how the selected capability will be an intrinsic part of your research. Students have the opportunity to develop all 5 capabilities through the research Project. THE Learning Capabilty is an integral part and is assessed in all students projects. Select 1 other capability that is particularly relevant to your research.

=Week 2= Your survey and/or interviews should be occurring soon - primary sources are invaluable as a good starting point for interesting aspects of your topic. Make sure you have a clear idea and plan for these, defineately by the end of this week when your research proposal is due..
 * __Journal Keeping__**

You need to keep a journal/ portfolio/ folder of evidence of learning so each of you will need to update your page each week. please learn how to edit and add to your page. Once you know how, you can hyperlink, add graphs, widgets, tables, links to video - very exciting to learn new ICT skills. ENJOY!! At least once a week reflect on - . What worked well? . What pleased me? . How do I know that it was successful? . Who can/did I share my success with? . What did I do that helped me to: - prepare for the task - create new ideas - practise new skills - improve existing skills - modify my learning habits - find relevant information or materials - organise information or materials - correctly summarise information - understand unfamiliar ideas - take relevant notes - use my existing knowledge or skills - represent information in meaningful ways? . What could I do differently next time? . What factors influenced my ability to learn? . What might help me learn more about this?
 * Dr. Ross Todd** (my guru) gave us these guiding questions for reflective journal keeping
