Problem Statement

1. Identify your research question

How can I use technology to appropriately automate and assist students in their
personal educational journey. I would like to make every effort and implement
all of my resources to offer students every opportunity to gain advanced
comprehension skills.

1. Explore what others have already found out

In my walk through this program I have come across a great amount of helpful
research by leading educators. I have and plan to continue implementing
resources and teaching techniques aligned with the results of current educational
research.

1. Define how you will introduce your intervention into your practice and determine your method of data collection

I will implement what I have learned through a project that will be an aide for vocabulary comprehension. Data collection will happen through assessments I
give students determining their successful vocabulary comprehension.

1. Areas of my practice that are possible explorations -

The greatest application for this project will be through story vocabulary. This

project can also be applied to any area of comprehension that benefits from

visual, kinesthetic, or auditory learning styles.

2. Potential Research Questions:

• What... Increased (vocabulary, concept) comprehension.
  
• Will...
  
• How... Learning aides that capitalize on the visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learning preferences.
  
• To what extent... I would implement the successful aspects of this project throughout my curriculum.
  
• In what ways..

3. Strategies to implement to answer the question.

The major strategies I would use to implement a study and learning aide such as this would be in my direct instruction, independent and group practice by the student, and as an assessment of student progress. Implementation would be an ongoing process cycling until the student achieved the goals of the lessons this project is or will be a part.

4. How will I collect data to answer the Question? What data sources will I use?

I will collect data through ongoing assessment of student comprehension. More specifically I will use running records and traditional quizzes and examinations. I will also keep a vigilant eye out as an informal assessment of whether students understand the vocabulary or concept presented through this project.
