My project outline was completed today, but many elements of my research remain unknown because I have not yet started my current position at Citrus College. I do have a general idea of what my project will look like and will outline below:
My research will involve implementing a math instructional technology program (to be determined) with students enrolled in two remedial math classes. This experimental group will be compared with two classes (the control group) who will not be using the instructional technology program. Data will be collected from their math placement exams to determine that there are no statistically significant differences between the control and experimental groups of students. Students in the experimental group will have access to the technology program through the semester of their students and will voluntarily participate in a survey to determine the effectiveness of different components of the instructional technology. Finally, class grades between the control and experimental groups will be compared to determine if there are statistically significant differences in class performance. Additionally, additional data will be collected on student retention to determine if the use of the instructional technology program contributes to improving student retention.
I believe that I have a great opportunity to perform this research, since this data must be collected as part of the responsibilities of my new position. Until I meet with my new supervisor and learn more about the grant, I will not be able to know what program I will study.
