Talked with Dr. Korach and Dr. Brookhart (2 members of my committee) and we tossed around a few ideas for the study.
Grounded Theory Option: Looking for sources of Personal Mastery in students through interviews, observations, and surveys. The part that is hard for me is giving up the data folders I designed.
Experimental Design Option: Studying the impact of data folders on a few classrooms. Looking specifically for personal mastery. In Leader-in-Me schools they will be following the work of Covey which uses the Covey planner for developing habit 3. This will just be a test of a potential scholastic planner.
Phenomenology Option: Studying the impact of the data folders. This time there is no theory coming into the study- just report the findings after I interview and survey.
Though I would like to already have decided this methodology a long time ago- I am still working on the first chapter which is the introduction- so the timing is OK. I am feeling a stronger sense in my gut to go with options 2 or 3.
