MINI-LESSON: Time Table for Research Output
Inquiries, Investigation and Immersion this connected to Practical Research 1 and
2, hence in this subject you will apply what you have learned from your practical research
subject.
This is also very challenging subject, but as the BDO bank tag line “We find ways”.
Same also with our department of Education we find ways to make this subject easy and
fun to learned.

Here are some scheduling estimates for your research projects.

Phase I: Developing Purpose and Strategy

(Plan on Two-Three Months of quarter-time effort)
1. Form a research goal or research question.
Formulating your study question is actually amazingly hard, and it can take a
long time. You can't really succeed at this unless you have a good sense for the
literature in the area and the prevailing theories because you need to build your study
from these. Many students have a hard time narrowing their interests down to a
manageable area, and once they do that, they still have to read literature within that
area before they can get very far.
2. Figure out WHERE to conduct the study
Sometimes the question of where to carry out your study will follow easily from
the question itself. The question may suggest an urban context, for instance, or early
grade levels, or teachers who have relatively more or relatively less experience. Not
all questions automatically lead to a particular research setting, though, and even
those that suggest a particular kind of setting don't suggest the specific setting.
3. Figure out How to conduct the study
The question of how to conduct the study is a big one, and I have another page
especially designed to help you with that.

Phase II: Obtaining Clearances from Faculty Advisors and an Ethical clearance
(Plan on 3-6 weeks)
Once you have worked out the first details of your study, you need various approvals
before you actually begin the work. If this is your dissertation, you need to prepare a
detailed written proposal for your dissertation committee to review. These proposals
range in size from around 15 pages to as many as 40-50 pages. The purpose of this

8
review is to ensure that you understand the territory you are about to enter, and that
you are prepared for the challenges you are likely to face. In essence, you committee
asks demanding questions of you to protect you from discovering in mid-study that
there is a fatal flaw in your reasoning or your study design.

Phase III: Conducting the Study

(Plan on 6 weeks to a year)
Once your faculty are persuaded that you are ready to start, and UCRIHS is
persuaded that your procedures protect your research subjects, you are ready to begin
the study itself. Your first step, obviously, is to send letters to all the relevant study
participants asking them to participate and obtaining their informed consent. That
means they need to sign and return these letters to you. Some school districts also
have research approval processes of their own, so that you will have to again submit
your plans to a district level review committee before continuing further.
Once these formalities are completed, the details of your study determine the
time you will spend on data collection. If your study involves a mailed survey, you
might be able to do the entire project in a few weeks. If it involves watching changes
in student learning over the course of a school year, it will obviously take you a year
to collect your data.
