EDPSY 526: Seminar in Metacognition

Term Project Prospectus

1. What form will your project take? Literature review? Research proposal? Case study? Other (if other, discuss with me first, please.)


2. Describe the issue that you will be exploring. What is your main question regarding this issue? What directions do you plan to take in exploring this issue? Why is this issue interesting to you?

3. Explain how you think this issue and your main question are related to the theories we are discussing in class. Be specific enough for me to get a good idea of how you will draw on the readings and class discussion to plan your research, interpret your data, etc.  You may have to skim some of the readings we have not done yet in order to do this. All projects require some outside readings.

• If you are doing a literature review, describe the research area(s) in which you will read; list some of the outside articles you think you will include.
• If you are doing a research proposal, describe how this study arises from the literature. (If you can't do this, it may be more appropriate for you to do a literature review.)
• If you are doing a case study, describe why you think the course theories you will use will help you understand the case; list some of the outside articles you think you will include.
