Presentation Transcript
Planning and Running Research and Development Projects(IFI8109.DT)Seminar: Research project proposals
Plan • Students present their research project proposals. • Each presentations lasts up to 10 minutes + discussion up to 5 minutes. • Recommendations: • Obligatory elements: title, problem, objective(s), methodology, expected outcome, innovativeness, possible applications. Additional aspects depend on the project. • Focus on few – the most important – aspects only: few will be remembered. • Use slides for supporting purposes, not for reading. For overcrowded slides, bring important words/sentences forward. • Use graphics where relevant: “picture is worth of 1000 words”. • Formulate questions you want to get feedback from the audience.
Presentations • Jana Paju. Comparative Analysis of Materials Irradiated with High Energy Plasma Beams with Plasma Focus Device. • Eka Jeladze. STILE – Schools’ Transition to Innovative Learning Ecosystem. • Kirsti Nurmela. Adult learning systems in European countries: taking stock of policy configurations. • Paula-Karoliina Tõeväli. Transactional development of teachers’ attributions and children’s task persistence and math skills. • Margit Emberg. Individual and contextual factors in the development of reading.
Home assignment • Complete your research proposal and send by 13.03 to peeter.normak@tlu.ee. • Study the CALLCORP project proposal (will be sent individually to the e-mail addresses) and answer to the following questions: • Name 3 factors why this project belongs to the category of (research based) development projects. • Name 3 major strengths of the project proposal. • Name 3 major weaknesses of the project proposal. How would you deal with the weaknesses? • Form groups of 3-4 students for preparing development project proposals and agree on roles and work division.
