We were then to use our learning of research methods throughout the course to determine those methods best suited to our question and to devise a workable proposal for a research project that would answer our original query. My situation presented a novel one because I was not a practicing teacher. Consequently, I decided to devise a research question and proposal based on my concern about teacher attrition and placed at the VSU College of Education. Producing this proposal was an arduous yet satisfying process. I devoted many hours to this idea and learned that this area is well worth researching.
Teacher attrition drains financial and human resources away from our profession.
If teacher persistence can be predicted and addressed during teacher education, those resources can be used more effectively while stemming the tide that bleeds education today. As I drafted the proposal, I had to think in a systematic manner to come up with a research design that was realistic and workable. Although this research proposal may not be a conventional representative of this standard, I do believe it is an appropriate one. Furthermore, this artifact is the product of many hours of effort and demonstrates my goal of growing as an individual. The latter concerned the personality types of students and how those types affect learning styles.
