I want to know whether teachers’ classroom practice influences pupils’ self-concept. Can you design a study that looks at this?
What will be an ideal response?
This research question would lend itself well to a mix of survey and observational research. We could design a questionnaire to measure pupils’ self-concept, or use an
existing instrument, and administer that to pupils in a number of different classrooms. We would also have to collect data on a number of other variables that may affect pupils’ self-concept, like their attainment or parental background. We could then observe teachers and measure their classroom practices using an observation instrument. We could then look at whether or not there was a relationship between self-concept and classroom practice controlling for the other variables.
