Favorite NHS athletic team to root for: Research question: What autumn athletic team draws the most fan attendance? A qualitative approach may include interviews with students not currently involved in seasonal athletics (to avoid bias), and determine conclusions based upon the reasoning provided by the sample population; a quantitative approach may include the researcher’s effort to count the number of fans for a game of each sport for several weeks, ultimately examining the ratio between the number of athletic participants and the number of fans.


PART B: REVISITING FRIDAY’S TRANSGRESSIONS

1) How can you correct teacher’s workload?
It could look as a qualitative presentation because you could interview teachers and the people that give the workloads to experience both sides of the story. It could also be quantitative by doing a survey to ask how they handle workloads if they want more or less workload.

2) What are the students attitudes concerning Edline?
A way to present this information in a qualitative form you could interview the students by asking what the efficiency is and good or negative input of Edline. For quantitative you could count the number of people that use Edline on a daily basis.

3) What are your attitudes toward the new school renovations?
A qualitative form to use to answer this question is to look around the school and see how people respect or appreciate the school. A quantitative is to ask people that come to the school what they think it was like compared to a year or two years ago.
4) Do students have a lot of political affiliations outside of school?
The qualitative is to ask lots of people if they know anything about the government or if they know anything at all. And then quantitative is to have a survey of the government.
5) How do students decide to choose their electives?
A qualitative approach would be to go into all of the electives and ask people what made them want this subject. A quantitative approach would be to interview all the elective teachers and see what percentage seem interested in the class.
6) Do you think seating charts affect academic performance?
A qualitative could be to ask for a class with a seating chart and one with not a seating chart to give their class’s average grade and see which one is better. A quantitative is to ask serious students which they think works better for them.
7) What is the difference between the Mansfied and Norton freshman volleyball team?
I would ask girls from each town how their team is run and how well they like it. Also a quantitative I would give them a survey and compare the percentages from each team.

TOPICS:

1. Teachers’ correcting workloads: How do teachers attitudes towards the workload of homework they need to correct correspond to the student’s attitude to getting homework back? This research question might be framed as a qualitative endeavor because the question is asking for an opinion so therefore it would require personal interactions with people to know their point of view.

2. Student attitudes concerning Edline: How do students attitudes concerning edline fluctuate with teacher’s consistency in updating grades? This research question would require qualitative research because this question is asking for personal opinions from students about a school program and this research and therefore require the documentation of these opinions in words.

3. Attitudes concerning the school renovations: How do students attitudes about learning in a school under construction differ from the town’s attitudes of having to pay for it? This question would require qualitative data because people may love the fact the school has finally received renovations; however the people who had their taxes raised may feel the school renovations were not as needed as it was led on to be.

4. Students’ political affiliations: How do students affiliation with politics before they are 18 changes when they are finally eligible to vote? This research question might be framed as a qualitative endeavor because this answer would be based on the student’s personal involvement in politics to not being as involved as they could be.

5. How students choose electives: Are student’s choice of electives correspond to what they want to do in college or is it just for fun? This question might be framed as a qualitative endeavor because students choose electives based on personal interest or need for the knowledge and experience with the topic therefor would require the personal interaction with the students to know why they chose what they did.

6. How seating charts affect academic performance: How are students’ academic performances affected when seated with friends to being seated according to a seating chart? This question would require quantitative data because this kind of information can be recorded through the tracking of students grained and the comparisons of the data from when the seating chart wasn’t enforced to when it was.
7. Steroid taking athletes: Do the pressure of receiving a college scholarship for athletes drive them to use performance enhancers like steroids? This question would require both qualitative and quantitative data because this kind of research can be recorded or documented. A survey can be done to chart the number of high school athletes competing for a scholarship that turned to steroids to step up their performance. However a personal interview can also be done in order to get a feel for their state of mind which led them to feel that turning to drugs was their only option.

1) How are the teachers’ changing the work load effecting students academics?

This could be considered quantitative because the school could do research on surrounding schools and get numbers on how many students do well with certain amount of homework. A qualitative approach would be interviewing the students and getting their opinion on homework and if they think that they receive too much.

2) Do students who use Edline more concerned with their grades with the students who do not?

If this was to be a quantitative experiment then I would ask two students who do and do not use Edline to give me their grades and percentages for the semester. I would then compare the two and make my observation. A qualitative experiment would be talking to a group of students and getting their opinion on whether or not having an Edline makes them more aware of their grades.

3) How do students who like the look of the new building feel coming to school in comparison to the students who do not like the new renovation?

A qualitative approach would be asking the upperclassmen, who had the experience of the old high school, their opinion in comparison to the freshmen who just entered the school. A quantitative approach would be getting a tally on who finds the new renovation nice and who doesn't.

4) How do students, that are Republicans, feel about how the school system is run in comparison to the Democrat students?

A quantitative approach would be simply finding out who are Republicans and who are Democrats and have a debate with questions based on the school system. A qualitative approach would be doing a school wide vote on the topic if they were happy with it or not.

5) How do the electives that students pick tell something about their personalities?

A quantitative experiment would be asking students in certain classes why they choose that certain elective and if they had any real interest in it. A qualitative experiment would be looking at student or multiple students and counting how many electives of a certain subject they've taken and see if that matches up with their personality as a student.

6) How do seating charts effect a students ability to learn?

A quick qualitative experiment would be having a teacher let the students choose their seats for a day & then do a quick head count on how many people are actually laying attention. Then the next day have the teacher choose the seats and then do another head count on who is paying attention. A quantitative experiment would be asking the opinions of the students on whether or not sitting next to their friends effected their grades.

7) Do more students listen to music while doing homework or do more students not listen to music?

A quantitative approach would be having a group of students do homework in a group and get a head count of how many people pull headphones out and listen to music. A qualitative approach would be asking them a series of questions such as: do you listen to music while you do your homework? (Why/why not) What type of music?

1.) Are the teachers of Norton High getting too much to grade in too little of time?

This could be quantitative by talking to the students in an elective class and see who is very good friends in it and who isn't. Qualitative would be finding out how many people are good friends and how many aren't or don't even know each other at all in a chart.
6.) Would sitting next you your bestfriend help you focus on your work more or less?
This could be quantitative by observing two best friends demeanors and grades who sit next to each other while comparing it to two kids who sit next to one another who don't know each other would be qualitative.

Teachers back in the day had to work harder because they didn’t have the grading technologies that present teachers have today.
2. Student attitudes concerning Edline
Edline is very useful for kids who need to catch up on a lot of missing work or to view their homework if they missed it.
Edline helps out children compared to before edline when children used resources when they don’t know what to do such as friends which might not be useful.
3. Attitudes concerning the school renovations
Many kids like what the school renovations have done because it’s a lot easier to get from class to class and the amount of money put in it was useful and worth it.
Before the renovations, the school was deteriorating with missing ceilings, pipes in view, and other poor conditions.
4. Students’ political affiliations
Many students simply do not care about views on politics.
5. How students choose electives
Students chose electives on how fun they are and how much work they estimate and is required for them to take that class or consider taking that class.
Other students chose electives on how helpful it will be to their future and they want the best ones possible whether they be hard or not.
6. How seating charts affect academic performance
Seating charts tend to make students more focused on their work due to uninterest to the students located near them.
Nowadays, people tend to be put in seating charts, which from my experience, have made me more focused on the class rather than who I am seated nearby or next to.
