Research Questions

Data Collection Tool

Why this tool? Justify its use in your study. How does it match with what you are attempting to find and to measure?

Will the incorporation of project-based learning improve students’ state assessment scores as it relates to the Common Core State Standards in comprehending non-fiction text?

District Common Assessments (post-test)

This research question requires quantitative data collection. The answer of this question is either yes, the incorporation improves test scores or no, it does not. District common assessments, which assess Common Core State Standards as well, can also be used for post-test data.

Will the inclusion of project-based learning improve student application of comprehending non-fiction text at a high depth of knowledge level?

Pretests and post-tests

Pre- and post-tests can give quantitative data to support findings in the examination of the artifacts and with the observations.

How does project-based learning integrate clear expectations and essential criteria and remain successful?

Questionnaires

This question seems to only be able to warrant qualitative data collection because it needs first-hand accounts of what expectations and criteria were used that indicated success. Questionnaires can give the researcher an opportunity to view how the teachers instill the expectations in the students.

ONLY FOR HISTORIANS. Western Civilization. Essay exodus journey, jews and Hebrews. NO PLAGIARISM. I don’t want to see some Walt Disney stuff.

[Pin It]

Please answer the following questions in separate essays of around 1.5 pages each. They will need to be typed, double spaced, with 12 point font, 1″ margin, and stapled. They also need to be your original work; while you may use the internet for some basic information, your main source should be the Exodus chapter of the Bible, and your class notes. Remember, if you do use information from a website or the Bible, it will need to be in direct quotes ” ” and referenced, i.e. (www.fishtales@columbia.edu); if it is word for word. If your idea just comes from that website, then you just need to reference it. Again, I want to see YOUR work, not Dr. Seymour Farquart’s ideas, in your paper!

Question #1:

What did the Exodus mean to the Hebrew nation that ultimately followed Joshua into the Promised Land?

Consider this question carefully. I’m not looking for a strictly literary answer! You need to consider this on several levels – literal, spiritual, allegorical, economic…

Question #2

Along with being a record of their history as perceived by Jewish historians, the Hebrew Bible serves many other purposes. It contains Wisdom Literature, poetry, and prose. It also contains endless lessons for people, many of which have spread throughout the world by now. Pretend that you are a Hebrew teacher 3000 years ago. What lessons do you see that could be learned from the Exodus? Pick three of these lessons and explain their significance to your class of students!! 🙂
