1. Mindwork: Combine
Data from Multiple Sources
More Data Sources-
Documentation footage = observation of students in depth
Field notes observing students within the classroom as well
as outside
Interviews of student
Focus always on the student
How should I collect
it?
Ideally, I’d like to spend the next school year focusing on
between 1-4 students at a specific type of school (public, private,
alternative, rural); either one from each school, or just 1 student at 1 type
of school. This would involve
going to the school a couple times a week taking footage the entire year.
What kind of special
permissions do I need?
I will need permission to go into the school(s) and film, as
well as permission for the art teacher to film her specific class, permission
from the student I choose to focus on, and the parents of that student. So, a lot of permission!

1. Search Archives
Archives notes – what kind of archival information would
improve my data?
Letters, journals, diaries,
logs, etc.
2. Mindwork: Count,
Measure, and Chart
Identify something related to your research project that you
can measure or quantify:
The formal technique and conceptual strength of student’s
artwork [same project] across different types of schools (public, private,
rural, alternative)
What kind of visual graph or design would represent this
data?
I would do a pie graph with percentages of which schools and
which students were able to grasp technique or concept based art.
