Key points
- feedback on Lit Review
a) no need to dwell on unimportant stuff, e.g. CC;
b) go in-depth on Student egmt;
c) while it's good to clarify different definitions, I have to commit myself to one, or if necessary, adapt/modify that to my research aim;
d) is learning outcome really necessary in my research? Otherwise, it should be taken out;
e) SE has to be measurable - what do I mean by SE, e.g. coming to class early, fixed consultation hrs for facilitating student-teacher relationship, active learning, organizing student activities by themselves.
- feedback on Methodology
a) okay to deal with only CCLU (sort all the ethics issues out in advance; no need to disclose the name of institute for the moment);
b) figures required to prove my concepts;
c) tying complex concepts with my case, i.e. CCLU;
d) Always think about what makes students more engaged at CCLU?
e) Any obstacles to SE?
f) influence/ impact of SE on what, e.g. does counselling service make students more engaged?
Actions
1. draft the research proposal and submit to GP by 1 May 2011 for review.
2. After reading the "Teacher leadership and its impact on student engagement in schools : case studies in Hong Kong" dissertation, I might initiate a discussion with Dr Katyal at krkatyal@ied.edu.hk.
3. Get peers to review my draft and get more feedback.
