Topic: Use of ICT and technology in Schools Paper details: To prepare for this Individual Assignment: Examine the 8-10 practitioner/action research studies that you identified and analysed in the previous two Individual Assignments. (Remember that these studies should represent the most relevant to your area of professional interest, based on your evaluation of the quality of the research, the contributions of the authors to current research in the field, and the frequency that the research is cited in other studies. If necessary, you may choose to refine your list of studies as appropriate.) In each article, carefully analyse the relationships among research contexts, research questions, and research strategies and data collection methods. Note how the research context limits and shapes the research strategy and how the data collection methods are designed to generate data that can directly address the research questions. To complete this Individual Assignment: Write a 500-word Analysis of Research Strategy and Data Collection that focuses on strategies and data collection methods that are most relevant to your practitioner research interests. Address the following questions in your analysis: How does the research context limit and shape the research strategy? For example, how do research strategies in traditional research studies differ from those strategies used in action research? How are data collection methods designed to generate data that can directly address the research questions? What are the most effective research strategies and methods of data collection in practitioner/action research? Explain why? Which strategies and methods might work best for research in your professional setting? Explain why? Be sure to include references to all sources, including your readings, in Harvard Referencing Style.
