Since my last blog, I was pretty stressed about the research project as a whole. Completing chapters 1 and 2 were not too bad actually and doing the proposal in detail definitely helped me out. I reused a lot of information for the introduction, however chapter two I had to do more research on my own. Chapter two took a bit of time coming up with eight scholarly sources, but it worked out great in the end.
Looking ahead to chapters three and four, I expect chapter three to be the most difficult of the two. Luckily, Ms. Aeschliman provided links to help me out creating a proper survey. I recommend https://www.researchconnections.org/childcare/datamethods/survey.jsp and https://explorable.com/surveys-and-questionnaires. I believe handing out a paper form survey randomly selected starters on the varsity football team will provide more feedback than asking them to fill out a google form survey. I think they will not care if it’s a google form survey because I know plenty of friends who do not fill out google form surveys when asked to. Now, onto the interview process. The questions will have to be worded in a specific way so the trainer and coach will be honest. For example asking them straight up if they inadequately follow protocol will most likely be a no because no one in their right mind would say yes. I think asking questions more on the lines of if they know coaches or trainers who have done such a thing, or if they believe coaches and trainers do indeed inadequately follow protocol. More possible questions could be if they know what our protocol procedure is and what the punishment is for disobeying protocol. I am open to ideas for more possible questions! I should have all of my data collected by Wednesday of next week; I cannot be for sure though because the trainer does not come into school all the time and I know Coach Cazlet is a busy person. I would expect that I receive full cooperation from the trainer and coach, moreover the questions will not be handed out to them ahead of time. I want the answers for them to be a spur of the moment or what their initial reaction is instead of the “politically correct” answer. Chapter four, like I said earlier, should not be too difficult because taking stats this year should help me out to analyze data because that’s what stats class is all about. I want their to be graphs or charts to break up the paper rather than having thousands of words in a row. I do not know how many graphs or charts I should include which I am sure would be an easy question to get an answer. I cannot wait to finish this research paper for the sole purpose of having one more day of school before I graduate! This paper will fly by before I know it.
