So I took my research question, “How does a new teacher organize and integrate a service learning field trip into their curriculum?”, and searched it in Google Scholar."A model for the development and implementation of field trips as an integral part of the science curriculum" is the first thing that came up and it is similar in nature except that for my research question I am focusing on mathematics curriculum as well as the fact that I am a second year teacher.
Everything else on the first few pages were very different than my research question, only taking one aspect of my question and going in a completely different direction.I had arrived at my research question with the help of my advisor, Joe. At first I really didn't know whether or not I need a research question because I am doing a self-study. I did look at a bunch of self studies and some did have questions and others seamed to focus on a specific idea or topic but I didn't see an actual research question. Joe and I came up with our research question fairly easily and quickly since it is basically what I am doing in one simple sentence. I do have a few questions about my research question that I will pose during my spotlight.
Is my question specific enough?Should I have a sub question about how how teaming is involving within this service learning field trip?Is teaming important to my research question?
