Technology Enhanced Learning Environments For Literacy And Global Awareness Among Youth

How might a good research design be diagrammed? What kinds of threats to the validity of research designs can you identify? How can such threats be controlled or eliminated?

Knowing the differences between a thoughtful research approach, design, and their characteristics inform the research

A research design can be understood as the planning of any scientific research from the first to the last step. In this sense it is a program to guide the researcher in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting facts (Bless and Higson-Smith, 1995:63).

This paper will review different styles of research design along with how different variables within research can be measured.

Dana Mortenson uses her experience and knowledge to challenge educators to think outside their box, and begin to look towards the classrooms of the future. Mortenson is the co-founder and executive director of World Savvy and is considered to be an expert in the field of global education. In addition, Mortenson was quoted in saying, “I care passionately about preparing the next generation for responsible, engaged global citizenship in a world that is increasingly interconnected and interdependent.” The article focuses on two main themes. One is that the next generation classrooms will have a high capacity for using technology. Looking at today’s classrooms, it looks as if technology is already making its way into the classrooms.

The nonprofit organization begins their plan by assembling and discussing the right direction in planning the project of bringing back art program in Detroit schools but also making it a priority among other necessary courses. They will look to their community and government officials for funding. The board leaders will use their knowledge and research when lobbying to local government and the implementations of taking away these programs and the effects it will have on this generations ability to prosper in the future as well-rounded adults. They will work for the next five to ten years to bring back Detroit public schools art programs to all 81 public schools (Americans for the Arts, 2017). American for the Arts will ultimately argue to its political leaders to make Detroit Rock City musically driven again and consequentially lower crime rates and bring back tourism that will stimulate the city’s economy.

One issue considered in this review is how arts-based organizations meet their community-focused missions when they can barely maintain their own physical space in a community?

Qualitative design research is tremendously useful when the phenomena are too complex to be answered with a simple yes or no. This type of design is much easier to plan and carry out. This design is also useful when the budget needs to be taken

For the past twenty years, local arts councils have experienced a progressive evolution; not by chance, but by design. As communities become more dynamic and culturally diverse, so do responsive arts councils. At their best, local arts councils play a vital role in the overall cultural, social and economic development of a community. They strive to develop, support, promote and coordinate the arts at the local level. Arts councils that respond to the unique cultural needs of their communities are well positioned to receive the support of their community.

Creating a literacy-rich environment is one of the key elements of supporting children’s literacy development. Literacy-rich classrooms tend to look quite different than the traditional classroom, covered in pre-made posters and arranged with individual desks in rows, and instead, allow for teachers to design their classrooms with their students’ needs in mind. According to an article on the Sadlier School’s blog, all elements in a classroom must be meaningful, intentional, purposeful, and engaging when creating a literacy-rich classroom. This means that classroom design is created in a way that it provides frequent opportunities to be exposed to text via environmental print, instruction, and hands-on learning as well as encouraging communication and collaboration (Sadlier School, 2017).

The stereotype of the starving artist may be eradicated when art centers established in communities place an emphasis on supporting local artists. Towns and cities that support local artists are ideal for tourists to visit and spend money, so they may experience authentic culture and understand more about the town itself. Movie producers, jewelry makers, museums, craftsmen, painters, symphonies; all these artists contribute products that bring in revenue. Art can be found in entertainment too, and without art, there is little incentive for tourists to visit Anderson. Our city isn’t the richest city, and some people are struggling to get by. An art center could help reduce poverty, and provide a fulfilling and passionate career for many people. Even as the city of Anderson grows, more art jobs will be needed to help improve the appearance of Anderson. With the social impact of an arts center and bringing the people of Anderson together, artists are bound to increase their exposure and have a better chance at making

Case study is done when a researcher would like to know the deeper details about a certain situation, event, activity, process and even a group of individuals.According to “Alexandra Lange, Jane Thompson” I love the name the first I heard it. I grasped the notion that design was not about superficial styling but rather about a process, an investigation, a try-out, and a passion based in curiosity in discovery.The researcher focused on characteristics of a successful chef.

When selecting a research approach, Creswell (2014) outlines criteria that affect the choice of one approach over another. I have already discussed how my worldview, personal experiences, and identified problem of practice and the questions affect my research. The design, methods, and audience of my emerging research will also be considered in terms of choosing a research approach.

Qualitative and Quantitative study designs both can be beneficial in research design. They both provide valuable options for researchers in the field. These techniques can either be used separately in a research study or they can be combined to achieve maximum information. This paper will define the terms qualitative and quantitative; describe the similarities and differences between each; discuss how qualitative and/or quantitative research designs or techniques could be used in the evaluation of my proposed research; and discuss why linking analysis to study design is important.

After I read the Design-Based Research (DBR): A decade of progress in education reseach, I do agree with some points brought up by the writer about the basic features of DBR.
