Problem Statement
This is a major concern when relying on qualitative methods like interviews and case studies for research.
What is selection bias?
This objective focuses on helping students see how school policies affect their grades.
What is raising awareness among students?
This question explores the long-term value of school handbook policies.
What is “How can the school handbook policies be effective in life when students are older?”
These in-depth conversations with students, teachers, and administrators explore their perceptions of discipline policies.
What are structured interviews?
A positive school culture involves students feeling this way.
What are safe, respected, and encouraged?
Participants in qualitative research may have these, leading to an overrepresentation of extreme views.
What are strong opinions?
School discipline policies can teach these valuable lessons for navigating challenges.
What are life lessons?
This question compares behaviors of students in schools with and without handbook policies.
What is “How do students in schools without handbook policies behave compared to those with handbook policies?”
These provide broader discussions on fairness and effectiveness of policies.
What are focus groups?
Restorative practices aim to help students understand this about their actions.
What are the consequences?
The findings of case studies might not apply broadly due to variations in these factors.
What are demographics, resources, or local culture?
The project aims to help students turn negative experiences into these.
What are opportunities for growth?
This question examines how discipline policies impact students' lives, both positively and negatively.
What is “How do the handbook policies help discipline our school, and how do they impact students’ lives negatively or positively?”
Schools implementing restorative or zero-tolerance policies are analyzed through this method.
What are case studies?
Integrating this type of learning supports emotional growth and holistic development.
What is social-emotional learning (SEL)?
