Linking your Research Essay to your Action Plan For the past week, we have been looking at how analysing and critiquing the research literature gives you insights into what has been studied in your area of focus. The process of working on your Research Essay should provide you with specific questions for your inquiry. In this week and the following ones, following up on your inquiry questions, you are going to develop your  Action Plan  by considering what  actions  you will need to take and when, what  data collection methods  you need to use, designing the  data collection tools  and  integrating Kaupapa Māori  in your inquiry, then finally discussing the  potential impacts . When will you take action? Remember that at this stage, you  develop the Action Plan  but are not yet taking action. This week we are still in the  “Learn”  phase of the Spiral of Inquiry. Using the new learning you gained from th...

CISC 8101 - RESEARCH AND COMMUNITY INFORMED PRACTICE Research and Community Informed Practice Assessment 1 - G Harris 21st century skills are crucial for our children to acquire in order for them to actively participate in society as adults (ITL research, 2012). I have chosen to focus on 21st century skills as through scanning learners of the relevant age group, reading literature and talking to colleagues I found that a concern from all groups was children being prepared for their future. The community shared a need to develop necessary skills and behaviours in order to succeed. Two children shared that they valued learning to use the school values of respect, resilience, responsibility and relationships.

One author suggests that there is a consistent finding that despite both younger and older children receiving equal preparation ...

Check the examples (required) from previous students' works about evaluating research publications, synthesizing the sources, and comparing or contrasting the literature. Read “Writing A Literature Review and Using a Synthesis Matrix” (supplementary). Use a Synthesis Matrix to capture the key features and to critically evaluate your selected literature, as well as identify the two to four major themes in your sources. Locate more literature (if necessary) so that you are able to compare and contrast these under the two to four different themes as explained in the class notes. Update these to your Bibliography. From the evaluation of the literature, check the accuracy of your assumption by noting the similarities and differences within the literature - include this into your Research Essay’s Section 4.
