Introduction

The clip below describes the main features of the IRML:

This lesson plan is developed by the Interactive Research Methods Lab's team at Kennesaw State University. The aim of the lesson plan is to help middle school students to understand the process of developing a research design and literature review for their projects completed in Leadership and Law with Mr. Jordan Johnson. The proposed activities within the lesson plan are in alignment with the mission and vision of the Georgia Council for Social Studies and Daniell Middle School: to advocate for, support, and celebrate the advancement of quality social studies teaching for Georgia students and to prepare students to be knowledgeable, effective decision makers and engaged citizens in a globally interdependent world. The lesson was implemented in the Interactive Research Methods Lab (IRML) on 12/13/2023 from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm. The session was lead by Drs. Tiffany Post & Jim Wright.

This lesson plan will help high school students reach a deep understanding of the key elements that should be included in sound research designs. To do so, this unit will help them identify the nine steps proposed by the Hopscotch Model (Jorrín-Abellán, 2016, 2019) to develop well-informed research designs. To facilitate the process, students will be provided with an example of the nine steps extracted from a published study (An, 2022) that will be read prior to the session in the Interactive Research Methods Lab.

1. The proposed activities will help students develop their research skills. These include logic, and problem-solving skills (Bauer & Bennett, 2003) and experimental skills like design, data collection, data analysis, understanding of limitations, and research ethics (John & Creighton, 2012; Russell, Hancock, & McCullough, 2007). Students also learn how to seek out and consume the relevant literature and learn the disciplinary language (Bauer & Bennett, 2003). 2. The activities will help students understand the steps of conducting a literature review.

Step 0: Prior to the face-to-face session in the IRML, students will be asked to read the following article: Okech, David, et al. “Economic Recession and Coping with Poverty: A Case Study from Athens, Georgia.” Journal of Policy Practice, vol. 12, no. 4, Oct. 2013, pp. 273–95. EBSCOhost, https://doi.org/10.1080/15588742.2013.827089. Step 1: Introduction and Overview The IRML will be introduced to students. A team member of the lab will describe its structure based on the first 4 steps proposed by Hopscotch using the article as an example. The IRML team member will demonstrate how to use the ipads to access the different resources that will be used in the session. (10') Step 2: Overview of the initial 4 steps of Hopscotch. s Step 3: Hands-on Workshop time Students will work as pairs to look up literature regarding their own topics of interest; they may also discuss and reflect upon the key elements to be included in their own research paper, particularly on the literature review section of their research paper for Social Studies Fair. Participating students will collaboratively use the the following resources to identify relevant research: ERIC Consensus Galileo In this stage, students may use the table provided in the Appendix A to fill out the third column of the table by describing in their own words the key elements that need to be considered to generate a solid research design for their study. Students could refer to the second column, in which the research design used in the previously read article has been unpacked. (60')

We will model how to use Hopscotch by applying the first 4 to 5 steps in the model to identify the key elements of the article students have already read. The second column in Appendix A, will be used to explain how the Hopscotch Model could be used to identify the key elements in the study by (An, 2022).

Step 4: Hands-on Worshop Time We will give students an overview of the final steps in the Hopscotch Model by applying the following 3 to 4 steps in the model to identify the key elements of the research article to the article and then to their own research. (60')
