Abstract | Currently, there are so many research studies in journals that a review board should be established to screen quality research from research without merit. Each school system should consider conducting research to confirm the quality of a selected, implemented, plan of instruction. First, school systems need to study what should be researched in the school curriculum--problem areas need to be analyzed to determine which one is the most worthy to pursue. A vital area for consideration might be using a well selected series of basal readers versus the Big Book approach in first grade reading instruction. A major problem of conducting research is which measurement instrument to use in the pretest and the posttest. Generally, standardized tests are used. Which design might researchers use when doing an experimental study? A common design may use a pretest for both the experimental group, which uses the new approach in teaching such as the Big Book, as well as the control group which uses the traditional approach of the basal reader. Directions for test administration should follow those given in the Manual section of the standardized test being used. A literature review on use of basals versus the Big Book may provide much background information and insight regarding the research being conducted. By being cautious in implementing research results, teachers and administrators become careful and judicious in becoming good researchers. (NKA) |
