Todays session starting off with the investigative project where we had to sit in groups to complete our report on the data we collected using the SPSS from the previous session. Dr Quek went thru all the elements neccesary to complete a proper report. The report should include the abstract, introduction, the research questions, literature reviews, methodology, procedure, results, limitations, discussions and conclusions. While doing the writeup as a group, the problem my group faced is in the part of the literature review. We had to decide what we want to put in the part on the literature review. And after a bit of contemplation we decided to go back to Lewin and Murray's Needs press model the big picture.
My Reflections
While doing the writeup as a group, I realised the important of literature reviews. We have to comstantly read journal and conference papers to increase our knowledge on what has been done so far and what can be done further in any kind of research. I also realised the importance of lewin's field theory that states that Human behaviour is a function of personal characteristics and environment (See the cropped version of the Needs Press model). From this basic theory alot of other theories were developed that supported Lewin's field theory.
I also feel that there are merits in combining qualitative and quantitative research methods in a research to maximise the potential of a research.
Thank you

Hi Rina,
Thank you for sharing Lewin's theory. It confirms what I have been suspecting all along...that the learning environment shapes human behaviour. For instance, if we dine in a 5-star hotel restaurant, we would dress, eat and perhaps talk in a very cultured manner. Relating this to school, if the classroom environment is pleasant and conducive, then pupils would learn better. Dennis
