First-Week Introduction
Hello! For this semester of research I want to focus on generating ideas, comprehension, reflection, improvement, and communication. I chose some of these because I experienced them last semester and they were very important skills, and some of them I chose because I felt like they would be important to improve on. The most exciting assignment to me seems like Lab 2 or 3 because we get to understand historical context and communities. The scrollyboarding assignment seems the most difficult because it going to take our best efforts in all the assignments to have an adequate understanding. Although this semester seems challenging, I am excited and ready!
Midterm Introduction
For this first half of the semester, I have learned how to conduct a survey and to work with a grass-root organization. With these, I have definitely learned that patience is key. I most enjoyed speaking with the community organizations at the beginning, and being able to listen to Daizjah tell us how she works. I struggled the most with our research changing a lot. It was very frustrating to put effort into one thing, and then end up having to change it to something else. I think I exceeded most at my first 3 goals, but lack in my last 2. I need to focus on goal 5 the most because I need to try to collaborate better.
Final Introduction
[Now that the semester is over, use your introduction to reflect in-depth on your process. How well did you meet the goals you set out to meet? What did you learn that surprised you? Focusing on your goals for this class, what do you want to remember to take with you into your future courses? What strategies can you use to continue developing toward these goals?]
Course Goals
Goal 1 (20%)
Based on (2c): Creates ideas using knowledge from many different contexts and backgrounds.
| What will you do to learn the content/ develop the skill? | What examples will you add to the portfolio to demonstrate your learning? | What characteristics of the chosen examples demonstrate you have met your goal? |
| Use the many things I learned from CODES last semester and combine them with new experiences from this semester to make more accurate conclusions and research. | – Interviews from Community partners – Surveys from communities -Concepts/next steps for research | Have a great understanding of the experiences through our research and add to our current ideas of how to move forward. Possibly change our ideas for the future or confirm. |
This above is a question from our survey. This demonstrates this goal because I had to understand the context to know what questions to ask. We had to understand who we were asking, where they were from, what they are associated with, and so on.
[For each 5% of effort you assign to your goal, provide at at least one example or artifact that demonstrates your learning process and shows how your made progress toward meeting that goal this semester (You would need four examples if the goal was worth 20% of your grade). Show how you have improved over time, what methods you took to grow, and talk about what you still plan to do in the future. ]
Goal 2 (20%)
Based on (3b): Understand complicated ethical issues and the relationships between them.
| What will you do to learn the content/ develop the skill? | What examples will you add to the portfolio to demonstrate your learning? | What characteristics of the chosen examples demonstrate you have met your goal? |
| This was a goal for myself that I met last semester but I want to add to it because I feel like we implement this into the real world more as we conduct actual research. I will use past and future experiences. | – Connections between communities and community partners answers to our questions -Source analyses – Miro boards(possibly) | Obviously connections between Community and community partners, but also just showing I understand the context behind the issues that these people are facing and the people that are trying to improve it. |
Above is my Source analysis 3. I believe that the discussion we had over this reading was certainly applicable for this goal, as we discussed ancient civilizations and their connections to modern society.
[For each 5% of effort you assign to your goal, provide at at least one example or artifact that demonstrates your learning process and shows how your made progress toward meeting that goal this semester (You would need four examples if the goal was worth 20% of your grade). Show how you have improved over time, what methods you took to grow, and talk about what you still plan to do in the future. ]
Goal 3 (20%)
Based on (5a): Understands the extent of research questions and is selective about the information to address them correctly.
| What will you do to learn the content/ develop the skill? | What examples will you add to the portfolio to demonstrate your learning? | What characteristics of the chosen examples demonstrate you have met your goal? |
| Looking for similar research and seeing what types of questions they asked and comparing those to our local context. Also just understanding the context of our situation so we can make hypotheses on the best questions to ask. | – Interviews -Source analyses -Possible sources -Lab 2 | Getting good and accurate responses to our surveys/interviews. |
[For each 5% of effort you assign to your goal, provide at at least one example or artifact that demonstrates your learning process and shows how your made progress toward meeting that goal this semester (You would need four examples if the goal was worth 20% of your grade). Show how you have improved over time, what methods you took to grow, and talk about what you still plan to do in the future. ]
Goal 4 (20%)
Based on (7c): Reviews previously learned topics academically and experience-wise to reveal these or changed perspectives.
| What will you do to learn the content/ develop the skill? | What examples will you add to the portfolio to demonstrate your learning? | What characteristics of the chosen examples demonstrate you have met your goal? |
| Reminisce on experiences or learned topics from last semester and compare them to my new experiences. Be able to realize if my perspective was accurate or needs to be improved. | -Scrollyboard telling – Lab 3 -Lab 1 | Show how my perspective has changed or improved. Show how I learned more this semester and make connections. |
[For each 5% of effort you assign to your goal, provide at at least one example or artifact that demonstrates your learning process and shows how your made progress toward meeting that goal this semester (You would need four examples if the goal was worth 20% of your grade). Show how you have improved over time, what methods you took to grow, and talk about what you still plan to do in the future. ]
Goal 5 (20%)
Based on (12b): Facilitate collaboration between groups by being aware of contribution and sparking engagement.
| What will you do to learn the content/ develop the skill? | What examples will you add to the portfolio to demonstrate your learning? | What characteristics of the chosen examples demonstrate you have met your goal? |
| Work on how I communicate with others and improve on the delivery. I need to work on this a lot because I want our research group to improve and people to put equal effort into it. | -Pictures of group meetings – messages sent -example of group member putting in effort -Questions asked | At the most, people contributing more. But if that is not achievable, I feel like being able to see me trying to facilitate it because I am not in control of others efforts. |
This above is a photo of me and my group at HeartLands Conservancy. I was fostering good conversation with Daizjah, our partner, and making good eye contact. We were able to figure out a better plan for how to conduct our survey.
This above is questions that me and Lyric collaborated on for our source Analysis 2 lead. We collaborated on a google document together. We collaborated well, and in return we had a great conversation for that class period.
