Research Success with Senior High School Students

Abstract

The objective of this research project was to identify what factors motivated different types of students in different content areas to complete assigned research projects successfully. Information was collected through student journals, interviews with students and teachers, and observation. Preliminary findings identified access to information, task perception and understanding, the research purpose, and time as factors that appeared to encourage students to complete their research and develop confidence in their ability to create meaning. This work adds the important component of student experience and voice to earlier research concerning motivation and student information literacy.
