I think data collection is coming to a close, which is good that next week is the last week. I’m starting to think it’s getting cumbersome and the same thing everyday and my students are getting sick of filling out weekly surveys. I think they are also not enjoying the fact that I’m observing and have information I can tell their parents about if I needed too. I don’t think they realize that I do this on a normal basis because I’m not writing it down constantly.
This week was pretty slow, nothing too eventful. I observed for four days this week and then gave my students a survey on Friday. The surveys are about the relationship aspect of class and the averages seem to be improving as the weeks go on which is encouraging. I also feel as though I’m building better relationships with the students besides what the surveys say. They actually will talk to me in the hallways or when I see that outside of school, whether it be at a school function or at the store.
Next week will be a few days of observation, a final survey, and a final focus group. Then it’ll be done with the data collection and I’m looking forward to the putting my results altogether and seeing everything that’s been discovered as a finality and not just analyzing daily and weekly.
