Blog Post 2 STEMS2 Spring 2016

Blog post 2:
Utilizing your research question conduct a google scholar search to vet your research question. Is there research in this field that can drawn upon and/or has this research question already been answered?
_________________________________________________________________________

I was able to conduct a scholar search for some literature that I can draw upon for my research.  I would like to look at place-based instruction and assessment though different content areas and to compare/contrast my 10th grade place-based project with what is being discussed in the literature.  






Share your research/project question and explain how you have arrived at this specific question

When I did my spotlight, I was able to get the following feedback from the following kumu:

Felicia: How does the project transform the students’ relationship with the ‘aina?
Joe: What did they get out of process.  Pre post of outlook and perspective of land and products/materials. Perspective on these and see how it changed. And maybe 5 years later?
Michelle: Linda Tutuvi Smith Indigenous Kowledge.  Na Mea Hawai’i. Focus on traditional knowledge to support HAWAIIAN traditional knowledge.  Borrow? Manu Myers
Ramsey: Success rate of classes/graduation? Anuenue/Immersion...look at success rate of HKM haumana and compare with other schools? Do they value this? A’o. What would they think is important to teach the next class? What is most important part of what they done>
Hayden: Measure student engagement.  How does exploring hana noeau affect student engagement? DOE seeing how engaged they are is awesome so maybe research their engagement.
Michelle: Teach younger kids as assessment for class. Peer mentors
Tara: How does something transform? Be mindful of my biases.  Find out instead of something I already know.  Humble approach...this is something i want to know...i dont know the answer...i want to see all the perspectives.
I looked at these suggestions and formulated the following research questions that I feel I want to learn from my 'ōpio:
How do haumana perceive STESMS2 content when experienced through a place-based project in the context of traditional knowledge in hana no’eaua?
