Title

Creating A Primary Research Document

Grade Level

12

Subject Area

Entrepreneurship

Overview of unit/lessons/activities (assumptions of prior knowledge/learning)

This is an exercise within the second unit of ENT 12, " Challenges and Changes in the Labour Market". It is a lesson within a larger chapter/mini unit "Opportunities, Ideas, and the Enterprising Work Environment". It is meant to use the student knowledge gained through previous lessons (specifically a Power Point presentation on the attributes of market research).  http://hrsbstaff.ednet.ns.ca/boudrb/PowerPoint%20presentations/market%20research%20pp.ppt#271,16,Market Research   The students will be responsible for using technology to create a primary research document, which will be assessed and then put into action in a later lesson/activity.   The activity has multiple opportunities for assessment and evaluation. The activity has numerous outcome correlations with both the draft curriculum and ICT .

Entrepreneurship: Creating a Venture, 2nd Edition  specifically chapter 6, pages 120-131

Entrepreneurship 12 Curriculum Implementation Draft 2003 from DOE, no pdf available.

Detailed instructions for each activity or lesson (teacher notes, activity information, learning strategies, teacher role, student roles)

 1. Prelesson...either have students access Market Research PowerPoint on their time or use LCD to go over in class. Activating prior knowledge.

2. Students read pages 120-131 either in class or for a prelesson and/or homework. Activating prior knowledge.

3. Students are put into groups of 3-5.

4. Students are to choose a pre-existing venture in their community (retail, specialty, department, food, etc).

5. Students are to think of questions which would give the venture's customer's characteristics and their preferences/likes, with an allowance at the teacher's discretion of questions designed to reveal information about the venture's physical store layout.

     A) Using Brainstorming, Visualization, Mind Map, or Word Clustering (pg 110, Textbook) as learning strategy-potential for assessable event either through observation (teacher role), student self evaluation, product assessment of written/scripted notes/art.

     B) Using Inspiration software, students organize questions by category ( open ended, closed, scale, etc). Cross reference with Market Research Power Point to help students, LCD projection of slides an option.

      C)  Actual question in textbook , page 132, Your Turn, Q 1. 

6.  Using MS Word, students use prior knowledge from Power Point and textbook pages 120-132 to order the survey questions already produced on Inspiration into a Word Document.

      A) Stage one, ordering in logical manner, then checking with teacher.

      B) Introduction of Purpose at top of survey instrument (Word Document). Potential for using MS Word Track Changes for assessment or sharing among group members.

      C) Introduction of Demographics section at end of Word Document. Track Changes  possible as above

      D) Submission, email, for assessment by teacher. Track Changes useful here for assessor.

 

Student products expected

A) Evidence of Brainstorming, either note form, outline, art work, word association, mind map, web, Inspiration document

B) Finished Primary Research Instrument, survey, on MS Word Document.

Samples (include teacher notes, assessment information, student work if available)

 

Logistics (organization, grouping, management issues, access to technology)

 

This is designed to use technology, but parts can be adapted for classroom if lab/computers are unavailable.

Grouping should be kept low as to ensure exposure to the technology aspect of this lesson.

Confirmation of prelesson activities is very important, may have to incorporate into this lesson, if so increase to 3 classes.

Assessment information (e.g., rubrics for products and/or process)

Appendix F pg 61, Curriculum ENT 12 , Project Rubric

Appendix E Teamwork Rating Scale- Teacher

Appendix D Teamwork Self-Evaluation- Student

Effective Rubric Sampler

 

The sampler is a potpourri of rubrics based on a variety of criteria applicable to many subject areas including ICT, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. The rubric samples originate from performance assessments developed by teachers working with the Alberta Assessment Consortium (AAC).

 

The language used within each rubric needs to be understandable to students. Student involvement in discussing, designing, selecting or modifying criteria and rubric language is essential in order to realize the learning and assessment potential of performance assessments and rubrics.

 

The sampler is a resource for developing your own performance assessments and rubrics.
