Drafting my Thoughts for a Literature Review

TPS: Be informed by research and innovations related to: content disciplines,pedagogy; teaching for diverse learners, including learners with disabilities and learning support needs; and wider education matters  

Developing a research question

According to Fraenkel, Wallen and Hyun (1993), a research question is:

     

 ‘ a question that we can answer by collecting and analysing data’

There are 2 types:

• Sources of research data that already exists; 
• Sources of research data that you will collect as part of your inquiry plan.

For the purpose of my research question/inquiry, I have decided to focus on the use of research data that already exists, so my proposed research inquiry question is:

Teacher inquiry question:

• To what extent will Kaupapa Maori/indigenous approaches influence a Community of Practice?

Literature review question:

• How will Kaupapa Maori/indigenous approaches impact on a Community of Practice?
