I think I have a pretty solid base for what I want to do my research project on. In my last blog post, I discussed that I would like to find out how children learn to read and write based on their learning styles. Since we are not allowed to do research on children, I am going to work with adults and talk to them about the different ways they learned to read and write.
Therefore, my research question will be "Does your learning style affect the way you learn to read and write?"
My plan is to select people to participate in my study, men, women, in ages ranging from 20-65. I am going to get a survey that I will have my participants take in order for me to find out what type of learning style they have. I will then ask all of my subjects the same questions about the way they believed they learned best and what their teachers did that helped them learn the best. I will also ask them about the different ways that they learned to read and write. Once I have collected my data, I will go over the information I have collected and compare it with the survey that the subjects originally took.
Some questions I will pose to my subjects are:
What way do you feel you learn best?
Are you a quick learner? if not, what do you think might have helped that?
What techniques did your teachers use to help you learn to read and write?
Do you remember when you learned how to read and write?
I believe that this will give me insight into the ways that people learn to read and write when they are younger. I believe that this information will help me to be a better teacher and also help me with my curiousity about english studies.
