- Abstract
- I(nvestigates the constituents of a good research task, requiring students to construct meaning from a variety of resources. The study involved collaboration between a high school media specialist, 7 teachers, and a university faculty member in Michigan, USA. 6 research projects involving 387 students of all ability levels were observed to identify elements associated with meaningsful research. Data were collected from a questionnaire completed by all students and student and teacher interviews. elements found to be related to satisfaction with the research process and to satisfaction with achievement were: student choice of topic, group work, course related topics, clarity of goals and means of evaluation, and process instruction
