1. What did I learn from the data exploration today?
I learned techniques for data collection: group interviews, creating a spreadsheet, surveys with limited answers, tape-recoding interviews, writing student narratives
2. How does this connect to your area of interest for your study this year?
I am looking at the process of identity development. These techniques help make that process visible.
3. What is the current draft of your question?
Focusing on Black and Brown boys, what events/experiences mold/reinforce student identity as learners in school?
-what events are teachers responsible for?
-what events are other students responsible for?
-what are the students themselves doing?
How do students contextualize these events?
How do I make the process visible to students?
4. Your thoughts now.
Next step: eat and then create the spreadsheet.
