Chapter 2: Overview of the Self-Study Research Process
Self-Study Research Is Recursive.
Research is discovery, and discoveries most often involve moving back and forth in a search to understand something yet uncovered. Be patient with the process.
Nonetheless, having a tentative planner serves to document where you are in the process and organizes and stores the insights you gained along the way.

Class Activity
Students report that they find it useful to use the suggested research project headings template. They cut and paste components of their critical friend inquiries into the report sections as they compose a working draft.
Take time now to review the “Suggested Research Project Headings Template” located in Chapter 12 and create a working frame for your project.
