Methodology

Your methodology should include the following two parts:

SUBJECTS/PARTICIPANTS--- In this section of your methodology you will need to explain who is involved in your study using the following criteria:
 * who is participating in the study (how many students, how were they selected)
 * include details that are relevant to the study (for example--gender, age, ethnicity, academic characteristics, etc.)

DESIGN/PROCEDURE--- In this section you need to describe in detail how you performed the study--someone should be able to replicate your study based on the information your provide in this section. This part of your methodology should include the following criteria:
 * describe the design of the research
 * describe the processes used for data collection
 * describe how the data collection instruments were developed
 * describe why the data was collected in the manner determined
 * describe the different forms of data collected
 * describe any control procedures
 * summarize each step in the execution of the study (a timeline of when events occurred could be helpful in some studies)
 * include copies of any instruments used in collecting data for your action research
