We all commiserated in class tonight over our returned lit reviews. Of course revisions will need to be made, some of us more than others. It was a good process to go through and I definitely learned a lot and will make changes for the future. I didn't do my best work and because of that I will have a lot of revisions in my future.
For class this week, we had to complete our IRB certification and do a rough draft of our ethics statement. I completed both along with all of the required reading. I was very pleased to be on top of all of my assignments! The IRB certification process wasn't terribly difficult. It reminded me of some of the online sexual harassment trainings I've had to do for work. Doing the online training was a good way to learn the information and understand what I'll need to know when I design my research studies. I need to keep in mind how my research could impact the students that will be involved. I'll need to get their parents consent as well consent from the students. I'll also need to work with the local school district to get their approval and ultimately share results with them. I plan to go back and review the information from the training again when I am closer to doing a study.
And now it's on to the theoretical framework assignment. More research, more writing, I can't wait!
