Ethics action research plan amendments
Based on feedback received in response to ethics and based on some further reading on reflexivity (Crooks ,Own & Stone, 2012) I have reconsidered a few points in relevance to ethics action plan. I have decided to act upon a few changes and stick only to the Research Question about Slido’s impact, such as its influence on students’ participation, engagement, inclusive pedagogy and learning outcomes.
To ensure a more focused and in-depth investigation, I have modified the questionnaire and adjust it to slido’s effectiveness in students’ learning. Hence, I will not use a questionnaire to assess students’ feedback on NVivo anymore. I have attached both the slido slides and the questionnaire that students as participants would have to complete.
Also considering the small scale project, the time constraints and reflective discussion during tutorial I will refrain from having an observant technician (taking field notes) in classroom. I agree with my reviewer (TS) that this would bring another question which would be part of a bigger scale project; that is relevant to the experiences of technician as an observant and its observations for the effectiveness of slido in classroom as a tool that benefits collaborative learning.
I acknowledge that the reliance on multiple data sources such as another’s technician feedback in classroom, the questionnaire and an observer’s feedback could be all challenging to manage within the time constraints of a small scale study. I also consider giving time to students to complete the questionnaire in classroom to enhance the effects of taking feedback in time.
