Research Proposal Topic

By Academic Wizard Blog

Name: Student from ED 504

Research Proposal Topic

ED 504 – Spring 2025

Problem statement: My identified classroom uses primarily independent work or homogeneous small groups for students to complete class assignments. In addition, it does not have a strong classroom culture and students do not engage with each other often.

In this classroom, student academic achievement is not as high as student achievement in other classrooms of the same grade level. Past studies have shown that heterogeneous groups have been shown to improve both classroom culture and student academic achievement. Research Proposal Topic

Best practice used to address your problem: I plan to integrate heterogeneous grouping into my identified classroom multiple times a week in place of individual work. This will enable different students in my class to work together, regardless of their level of achievement, which will improve the classroom culture and lead to improvements in academic achievement.

Hypothesis: Heterogeneous small groups will have a more positive impact on daily student academic achievement than homogeneous groups or independent work.

Study Population: The population I will be studying is my identified classroom. This is a seventh-grade general education English classroom with a diverse population of 25 students. These students represent multiple different ethnicities, genders, religions, social classes, and levels of academic achievement. Research Proposal Topic

5a. Independent Variable: The independent variable I will be changing during this study will be the format of grouping students., For three days a week students will be placed in heterogeneous groups for ten minutes., For one day students will be placed in homogeneous groups., For one day students will be given independent work (this can serve as the control variable).,

5b. Dependent Variable: The dependent variable I will be measuring in this study is student academic achievement., This will be measured by a pre-test at the beginning of the study, as well as a short “exit ticket” at the end of each day for three weeks. Each exit ticket will have three or four questions about the information learned in class that day. Students will complete the exit ticket individually.

Brief plan of action for executing your experimental design: I will begin by giving a pre-test to measure each student’s performance at the beginning of the study. This will enable me to properly assign groups with varying levels of student achievement in each group. Then, students will be placed in heterogeneous groups three times a week for ten minutes at a time. During the other two days, students will complete independent work or be placed in homogeneous groups. At the end of each day, students will complete a short exit ticket. This structure will continue for three weeks. At the end of the study, the exit tickets for each day will be compared to see if students perform better on the days they were placed in heterogeneous groups, homogeneous groups, or working independently.

Logic in Daily Reasoning

By Academic Wizard Blog

Logic in Daily Reasoning

This week we are going to focus on basic logic and how you can use logic outside of the classroom. Unfortunately, many of our daily interactions include logical errors. Not all things that we call illogical are really logical errors.

Consider the following four arguments.

Pick one and only one of them.

For the argument you chose do you think that is a logical argument? Why do you say that?,

Explain this in terms of the logic involved using the terminology of our text., An argument is logical provided that the conclusion is guaranteed to be true when the premises are true., The premises could be false but if they were true the conclusion would be forced to be true if the conclusion can be false while the premises are true the argument is not logical., Arguments are determined logical or not based on how the statements work together., Arguments are logical or not and never true or false., Individual propositions are true or false and never logical or illogical., Two common errors: Illogical is not the same thing as irrational. Logical is not the same thing as reasonable. People often make those equivalences in their heads, but they are wrong.

If you introduce terminology from other sources, you must provide APA style citations and references and explain what the terms mean. Be sure your explanation is complete. It is important to realize that an argument can be logical even if some of its components are false.

Arguments:

If it rains the sidewalk will be wet. The sidewalk is wet. Therefore it rained.
I have seen homeless people stealing shopping carts from Safeway. Safeway has a shortage of shopping carts. Therefore the shortage of shopping carts is due to homelessness
Joan said that she would either go to the beach or watch TV. Joan was seen at the beach. Therefore Joan did not watch TV.
All Space Aliens have rust colored fur. ALF is a Space Alien. Therefore ALF has rust colored fur.

Be sure to use terms and concepts from the content covered this week to support your decision.

This is a challenging discussion question, and I expect there will be many errors, and I expect to point them out as we go. This is how we can learn this concept.

Be sure and watch the two logic videos before you try to answer this – it should clarify a couple of the common errors

Response Requirements

By Thursday, respond to the prompt above in a minimum of 175 words and a maximum of 250 words..
By Monday, post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member.
