\n
\nI would research students in the same grade level and compare several classrooms, probably at least 10 classrooms having students working in groups of 3 and 10 classrooms working individually. The students will all have to complete a short test individually after they read a chapter in the textbook. I will compare the results of the test scores and see whether learning in groups or individually worked better. This research may need to be preformed several times to find accurate results. Maybe it would be better to have all of the students in 20 classrooms read a chapter and take a test individually. Then, on a different day, work in groups of 3 and read the chapter and take a test. That may be the better way to compare the two ways of learning.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"61073184","dateCreated":"1355257465","smartDate":"Dec 11, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"kleitschuh","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/kleitschuh","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/61073184"},"dateDigested":1532724512,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Research","description":"Research Project

\nWith the changing times in technology, the research project that I would conduct is finding correlations between students performance in relation to those who participate in hours of video games after school verses those who do not. My question would be do students who spend hours in their day outside of school playing video games study and comprehend what is learned in class more easily or better? To begin with we would need to categorize what games are considered in this study such as none educational games like Mario cart for example. I would survey the students and have the frequency in which they spend playing video games on a daily bases if they do any at all. Once we calculate the surveys we can begin to graph out results in relation to children who are active video gamers after school. We can look for patterns made through the students. If for some reason nothing is found, the study could be expanded. The study\u2019s results can be helpful in having more research and stats based information to tell parents to put time limits on electronics in better helping their child\u2019s development.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"61063964","dateCreated":"1355176871","smartDate":"Dec 10, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"escott91","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/escott91","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/61063964"},"dateDigested":1532724512,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"erin scott response","description":"The question I have chosen to research is this:
\n
\nDo students work more effectively when they are seated in groups or when seated as individuals?
\n
\nI chose this because seating plays a vital role in the success of a classroom. When I say success, I mean the attentiveness of students and the quality of work they produce. In the art room, I like to think that students work better when seated at tables of 4, but perhaps sitting at single desks is better. For this research, I would have the students sit at single desks for the duration of one art project (2 weeks) and then I would have them sit at tables of 4 for the durations of one art project (2 weeks). I would this for all my classes, grades K-5. During that time, I would be paying special attention to how focused my students were, to how attentive they were, to the quality of the work they produced, and to the chaos or calmness of the classroom. I would also have students fill out an evaluation that I wrote up to get their feedback on the pros and cons of sitting in groups of 4 or at a single desk. As I mentioned before, I would think students work better in tables of 4 so they could bounce ideas off each other, but perhaps single desks would help them be more focused on their art.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"61060560","dateCreated":"1355158516","smartDate":"Dec 10, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"mgreathousemarshall","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/mgreathousemarshall","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/61060560"},"dateDigested":1532724512,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"MGreathouse-Response","description":"Think of a specific situation where you want to know what is going on. What is your question? Design a research project you could do in order to answer that question.
\nOne topic I would like to look at is year-round schools versus traditional schools. Do the students really retain more information in the year-round schools from grade to grade? I would set the project up using middle and high school students, since most students who started in the year-round schools are now in middle school or high school. I would set up it to work with the students, parents and teachers. I would have to follow students from each type of schooling over a couple of years to monitor their progress, including assessment scores. Talking with parents and teachers is important because they are the ones who see the interaction the student has in the classes and if they are truly performing better, whether it is on formal or informal assessments and homework.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"61018824","dateCreated":"1354736394","smartDate":"Dec 5, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"ChristineAngi","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/ChristineAngi","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/61018824"},"dateDigested":1532724512,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Christine Angiuoli-Response","description":"A research project that I would conduct is finding correlations between students performance in relation to those who participate in extra curricular activities verses those who do not.

I will survey the students and have them list what activities they do, the frequency in which they do them and if they do any at all. Once we administer an exam we can begin to graph out results in relation to children who are active outside of class, students who take lessons outside or class or involved in groups or clubs and students who do not participate in anything after school. We can look for any type of pattens and if nothing is found it might be necessary to expand the group we are studying to the entire grade or the whole school.

I would want to study the effects of music on mood in students, preferably college students. My question would be: How do the effects of classical mood differ from the effects of rock music on mood? I have read a few articles in the past, and it has actually been found the people who listen to classical music tend to have better moods than people who listen to rock music. My population would be college students. I would expose a group of students to classical music for a set period of time, and then have them rate their mood. I would expose a second group to rock music for the same amount of time, and then have them rate their mood. I would then have a third, control group, who would sit in silence for that same amount of time, and then have them rate their mood.
\nDepression, and just negative mood, are very common among high school and college students, so listening to classical music, if found to increase mood, could help. I think this would be very helpful information for students to have. I know that I, personally, sometimes listen to classical music when I do homework, and it seems to keep me focused. It would be interesting to see if it could help students stay in a positive mood over a longer period time.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"60866208","dateCreated":"1353209702","smartDate":"Nov 17, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"cbpries","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/cbpries","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/60866208"},"dateDigested":1532724513,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Carly Pries Response","description":"A research project that I would conduct would be a correlation research project that observes the correlation between the food students eat (or did not eat if they skipped breakfast) in the morning prior to a test and their grade on that said test. My question is does the food you eat affect your test taking abilities? To push the research even further I could look at the results to see if eating junk food in the morning provides better test results than eating no breakfast at all. First, there will need to be somewhat of categorization for what foods are considered healthy and what foods are considered junk. In this correlation research project I could take an an entire class and have each student have their usual breakfast of choice but all at the same time in the morning before the class has to take a test. The students will log their food choice, portions as well as their meal time to ensure that all students ate at the same time to prevent any error. Then, once the students take the tests, cross examine their test scores with their logged food of choice (or lack there of) and see if there are any patterns in the type of food consumed and a positive or negative correlation on test scores. If the results do not show enough of a pattern then adding more student participants may be necessary. The results of this research project could be very useful especially considering that students are forced to take and pass standardized tests. If results of a research project prove to show a negative correlation between junk food and test scores and a positive correlation between healthy food and test scores then it would be very helpful to encourage students to eat a healthy breakfast in order to produce better scores.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"58781744","body":"What a good research study.

\n
\nThe purpose of this research is to determine how effective the stop sign is at the intersection of Pleasant Ridge and East Mound Street. This would be considered a longitudinal research project because it would have to take place over time. I would set up a camera that monitors cars as they pull up to the stop sign. I would collect a large and diverse amount of data. I would collect 24 hours a day for 7 days a week. Then I would collect the data on how many cars came to a complete stop and how many rolled the stop or didn\u2019t stop at all. Next, I would separate the data hourly and put it into an excel sheet. Then I would make a graph for each day for how many people did not obey the traffic law. This would provide a statistical base for my research. If I wanted to make it correlational I could look at how the day corresponds with how many drivers broke the law. Also, if I wanted to make it descriptive I could interview or take surveys of drivers on campus and ask if they obey the traffic laws and how they feel about them.
\n I think that it would be interesting to see how many drivers actually come to a complete stop. Another issue within this research project could be how many drivers stop for the stop sign, and how many stop only because there are pedestrians walking through the intersection. In my opinion I think that this research project could yield some useful data.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"56893866","body":"I'll think of this project every time I cross that street!
