Conducting Research-based Projects in Elementary Grades with Safety in Mind -- THE Journal - 1 views

  • elementary school students choose to conduct research for school projects.

      How elementary school students choose to conduct research is a big question mark.
    • nickyforest
       
      A great article on elementary school student research.
  • Fortunately, there are best practices for teachers to adopt and safe websites for learners to visit, which she shares here with THE Journal.
  • Did the students have a list of safe sites to use for their research, appropriate for their grade level
    • nickyforest
       
      Students did not have a list of approved websites that were appropriate for their use.

  • She and her mom were proud that she had done her own research. When she said that she got her information from Wikipedia, I suggested that she might wish to include her source on the project, but she did not want to. She did not know if she would be presenting the project to her classmates.
    • nickyforest
       
      Research from a 3rd grader was done using only Wikipedia and that was not cited on her research project.
  • My concern was not just about the credibility of using Wikipedia for academic purposes. The reading level was too advanced for a typical third-grader. Researchers (Anderson, 2012) have found the overall readability of numerous Wikipedia articles too difficult for many readers.
    • nickyforest
       
      Wikipedia is not written at a 3rd grade level, or for any elementary student for that matter.
  • How is the research process introduced to elementary students, particularly for using the internet? Are learners provided an age-appropriate online tutorial? Is there a standards document indicating skills that students should be developing in elementary grades for using technology to conduct research?  What guidelines/templates are students provided for developing their projects? Are they provided a checklist/rubric for how projects would be graded? Who sees their projects?  How do you make parents aware that their children will be doing internet research and that their children’s “online safety” has been considered?

      What are the guidelines for elementary school student research. These six questions were asked of teachers in two different states.
  • elementary learners can hop on the Research Rocket at the online portal Kentucky Virtual Library: How to Do Research and find an interactive and engaging tutorial designed just for them. Content might also benefit classroom lessons and discussions, particularly in K–2 when

      School districts in Kentucky have a virtual library where students can learn about how to do research.
  • ibrary media specialists in the School District of New Berlin (WI) developed a series of research guides and templates, organized by grade-bands. Templates for grades 4 to 6 combine a checklist or rubric.  Lankau, Parrish, Quillin and Schilling (2004) developed the Research Project Guide: A Handbook for Teachers and Studentsfor Humble Independent School District in Texas.

      LMS staff in Wisconsin and Texas have organized templates, rubrics and checklists to help students with their research.
  • Symbaloo, a social bookmarking tool, for this purpose. The Elementary Research Guide focuses on the Super 3 and Big 6 research models for grades K–2 and 3 to 5, respectively. Presentations on the Super 3 and Big 6 models, posted on Slideshare.net, illustrate that educators value both models.  
    • nickyforest
       
      Resources for research projects also include Symbaloo, Super 3 and Big 6 which are readily available to students and teachers.
