[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your lecture sucks honestly. [/quote]

Nope, it's the same but with updated info. I actually got feedback directly from the students - overwhelmingly positive every single time.  The material is fine.

Why could students in 2010 pay attention and listen while kids in 2024 have the attention spans of ants? [/quote]

I agree with the pp here. [b]Going off 13yo data is not wise. Nothing ages that well. [/b]

Honestly, I have trouble listening through most lectures. I don't think that I've changed for the worse since 2010. I'm not going to appear rapt, but I get what's important. [/quote]

This is how we ended up with Lucy Calkins  and “new math”, everybody.[/quote]

Uh, presumably this is qualitative data moron. [/quote]

Also, I question OP's methods of data collection. People may have lied, or given half truths. [/quote]

DP: There are dozens of disciplines that use qualitative research methods and they have also sorts of established methods for addressing these concerns.  People can lie on surveys even easier.  When you have long interviews, multiple observations, artifact analysis it's much easier to track inconsistencies in evidence and note them and follow up and find out.  No idea whether original article is solid or not as I haven't read it, but sample size is not the way you judge.  If it's in a decent scholarly journal peer reviewers and editorial board will have assessed the methods.  If it's in a crap journal the findings would be less likely to taken seriously.[/quote]
