[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS could spend time finding ways to make DL better and then study DL for results.  But we hopefully won't be in DL forever so maybe that is why they aren't looking into it.

But DCPS is also not so good with real plans for the real world.

There are ways to do qualitative research but its more labor intensive than sitting in front of an excel spreadsheet. Ed research might not have the skills to do it. DL is set up so people can easily log into a class and check out how its going. But if the researchers can only do qualitative then????[/quote]

What on earth are you talking about? There's a pretty good split of researchers doing quantitative and qualitative research (as well as smaller numbers in mixed methods, archival, PAR). You seem to be implying that education researchers cannot do qualitative research in the first sentence and that they only do it in the last. Is that right? Do you think that these tests were made to create numerical data to then be analyzed by qualitative researchers? Do you think someone is out there doing an ethnography on MAP scores? Do you think quantitative research is taking place primarily using Excel?

The fact that you're so clueless about GENERAL RESEARCH makes me wonder where you came across the word qualitative in the first place.

I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm curious if the contractors for DCPS can do it. I have first hand knowledge of some DCPS contractors being woefully subpar on research.

I would love to see it done.[/quote]
