NOTE FOR STUDENTS WANTING TO RE-ENROL FOR SEMESTER TWO: THIS IS YOUR EXPLICIT NOTICE REGARDING RE-ENROLMENT IN RESEARCH PROJECT SEMESTER TWO 22/06/11 In order to un-enrol from Semester One you need a parent/caregiver to sign the appropriate consent form, before you will be allowed un-enrol from Semester One and enrol in Semester Two. This will need to be returned by Friday 24th June. The forms may be received in the following two ways:

1) From your teacher (Mr Tengdahl) inclass time (handed out in class 22/06/11) 2) From the Senior Learning Area, onthe Research Project table

Failure to return this form may result in a failure of Research Project for Semester One 2011.

As your Research Project teacher, I take no responsibility for a subject failure resulting from not returning the appropriate paperwork, as this message was conveyed both in class time (22/06/11) and on the class website.

Many students have continued to attend the class irrelgularly without excuse and, as a consequence, may be unaware of the above notice. This is the reason it has been placed on the class website, making it available outside of class time.

"//I didn't know//" will not be a valid excuse.

- Jakub Tengdahl

Digitally recorded evidence or written notes, or a combination of these, to a maximum of 10 minutes of continuous recording or two A4 pages in printed copy, or equivalent. Notes may be made before, during, and/or after one or two formal discussions. Your folio for Teacher Assessment can contain as many pieces of evidence required to substantiate your research. This can include journal entries, written notes, articles, photocopies with annecdotal notes, photographs, videas, interviews, surveys etc.In your folio use sticky notes or small texts boxes to show where you hjave evidence of the performance standards.You will need to use the following Performance standards in your folio: P1, P2, A1, A2, and A3, from the planning and Application perfomance standards columns.These performance standards can be found on the //0 Assessment Performance Standards// page on the left of this wiki.

WEEK 2, TERM 2

Here are our class goals for this week:

1. Hand in a draft by the end of this week. If you have not completed one by this time, and please try your best, hand up what you have done anyway. I will still be able to offer some good advice and it will also help me to verify your work.

2. Prepare for Discussion #2. If you wish to have a second discussion, now that you have put in a lot more work since the last one, prepare for it and let me know this week. It will occur in week 3.

3. IMPORTANT! Bring in all of your research so far for Wednesdays double-lesson. We will be looking at compiling your Research Development and your 10 Pages for Moderation in this time.

WELCOME TO A NEW TERM!

These are my expectations in the first two weeks.


 * 1) 1. Hand up a draft of your outcome to me. I need this because firstly, I need to see your work in progress to verify that it is YOUR OWN WORK, and secondly, I want to check that you are on track and offer you some timely feedback.


 * 1) 2. Answer these questions on your own wiki page. They will help you prepare for your second discussion:

In your journal/ research development page this week, comment on the following: 1. What was the highlight of your research so far that you have enjoyed the most? 2. What were some of your challenges or difficult situations/ problems that you have encountered in your research and how did you overcome them? 3. What did you find interesting that you did not know so far?

IT'S CRUNCH TIME!!!1!
This week you should begin to analyse your results and conclusions that you have investigated in your research.

In your journal/ research development page this week, comment on the following:

1. What was the highlight of your research so far that you have enjoyed the most? 2. What were some of your challenges or difficult situations that you have encounetered in your research? 3. What did you find interesting that you did not know so far?

__Week 8 Research Development.__ WHS Research Project Moderation / Ethics Committee 18/3/2011 The WHS Year 12 Research Project Teachers met last Friday morning to discuss all the Year 12's Research Proposals. The teachers included; Karen McInnes, Jakub Tengdahl, Steve Jordan, Geoff Street, Robyn Hewitson and Caroline Woud.

These teachers discussed as a "WHS Ethics Committee" all students proposals. Most of the proposals were approved by the Ethics Committee, however there are a few proposals that have been rated as Pending Approval. The proposals that are Pending will be discussed with students involved by their teachers, to clarify some ethical considerations, or choice of topics.

The following points have been proposed by the Year 12 WHS Research Project Teachers for students:
 * That the WHS Research Project (RP) staff are concerned about the implications of any breaches of the ethical conduct of research and procedures for individuals.
 * The WHS RP staff as a group will approve, not approve or indicate as pending every research project student’s proposal.
 * Students need to have any surveys or interview questions approved by the student’s teachers and verified on the SACE record sheet.
 * All students are explicitly made aware of their ethical considerations and responsibilities.
 * Methodologies used to research sensitive topics (e.g. suicide, homophobia, involvement in war, bullying. . .) will be examined to ensure all ethical responsibilities are addressed.
 * We do not endorse the use of experiments that may endanger the mental, physical and / or emotional well-being of the researcher or participants.
 * Need to check proposals where the questions are similar or the same. E.g. Euthanasia not legalised in SA, Illuminate, music styles affecting behaviour, public fund raising.

**Action:** Caroline Woud has developed a generic WHS consent form for WHS RP students who want to interview or survey people. This is in the word document below.



NEWS!! All discussions will now take place in week 7. The Research Project teachers met and agreed on this. Your proposal marks will be finalised next week as well. Those people who have already done their discussions (ie Lisa) you will have a chance to do another one, to be fair. MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR EXTRA TIME. GET RESULTS BACK FROM SURVEYS AND INTERVIEWS. SERIOUSLY LOOK AT YOUR SOURCES. Make the most of this time.

NOTE: To make everything easier to look at, I've put weeks 1-4 onto a seperate page on the left. Please go back there because it has all the info about referencing, some stuff about surveys and a link to EBSCOHOST.
