I am still debating whether to maintain my action research as is or tweak it to reflect my current student population. How much do I want to change and what are the guidelines I need to follow to arrive to this ultimate goal? What specific questions or concerns do I currently have? In the Sociocultural Subcontext of the SITE Model, it recommends for users to think in terms of broad questions. An example of this is “What motivates (or could motivate) students to engage with technical and informational subcontexts?” This broad question could then lead you to ask more specific issues that pertains to your learners/students in mind. The next Subcontext deals with technical attitudes. Again, the question is pose in broad terms. How might the features of technical devices and methods help attain achievement goals? Lastly, in the third subcontext a broad question will be presented. What are the learners’ ability to use technical systems to achieve their goals? It is advisable to take into account the learners’ attitudes toward informational subcontext. This type of framework, where it is learner-centered for designing and implementing contextualized learning experiences is helping me reflect on how to narrow down my DQ for this project. The idea of starting with a broad question, to then think about more specific issues, while integrating the subcontexts to design an effective and useful product.

Diana, well, it sounds like you are taking into consideration your whole learner and thinking in broad terms. I like the question you pose: “What motivates (or could motivate) students to engage with technical and informational subcontexts?” and as we learned in the SITE model, technical could be a number of things ie, tools, devices procedures, systems, strategies, tactics or even tecqniques, anything that will motivate your your students to feel empowered. I am curious to see what driving question you end up with?
