Here
is the list of questions asked throughout this case study:
Narrow Questions:
How does Aaron's consideration of student perspectives
help to narrow the broader questions?
Narrower Questions:
By analyzing these narrower questions, what factors did Aaron take into
account that may lead him to student evidence?
Evidence: Path 1:
How else could Aaron determine the process of historical thinking? Would
the steps be the same for both the online and traditional learning environments?
Are there other questions that he should consider investigating first
before trying to answer this question?
Evidence: Path 2:
How would this particular set of evidence relate
to the narrow question about individual work vs. collaborative work?
Evidence: Path 3:
How do similar types of evidence,
seen in the three paths, offer multiple interpretations about student
learning?
Further
Questions:
From the questions that emerged from his initial inquiries, which ones have the most promise to be investigated?
What strategies were used by Aaron in narrowing his question?
What kinds of student data are most worth tracking to address some of his questions?
