Week 8 Reflection Initially I thought that data mining would only be effective with a large pool of data-- there is no way my data this year will amount to that! Mariah also pointed out that factor, but after reading comments on her blog I realized that a small sample isn’t necessarily impossible. I also appreciated Virgil’s comment to also keep student behavior and attitudes in mind when collecting data because this dictates many factors. This will be especially helpful for my research as a lot of the data I am collecting isn’t tangible or numerical.
Josie gave great ideas for conducting surveys and made me think twice about the survey that I will give my students in the near future. I recently gave my parents a paper survey and it was challenging getting them to respond. I think I will look to survey monkey with my next parent survey to get more meaningful results.
