Eureka! Finding a direction forward with research planning
Speaker: Andy Boon
Date: Sunday, January 10th, 2010
Time: 2:00 PM - 4:45 PM
Location: Omiya, Saitama
Venue: Sakuragi Kominkan, 5th Fl
Description:
In this workshop, Andy Boon will provide an overview of how to form and develop lines of inquiry when researching one's own teaching context. Participants will be encouraged to formulate or bring along research questions to work on. They will then be introduced to Cooperative Development (Edge, 1992) and Instant Messenger Cooperative Development (Boon, 2005, 2007, 2009), a non-evaluative interactional framework for supporting peer reflection, exploration and expansion of ideas and discovery. Through undertaking a Cooperative Development session with someone who is willing to listen and reflect back a participant's emerging thoughts, it is hoped that workshop members will go away with a much clearer and solid understanding of their individual research plans and how they would like to proceed with them.
Andy Boon is Associate Professor at Toyo Gakuen University and an Aston University PhD student. He has published articles on teacher development, motivation and methodology.
*Students (with valid student card) and current JET participants will be admitted FREE
