Tools of Investigation

Abstract

The current syllabus aims at satisfying the needs of Second Year Master students, specialty of Didactics at the department of English. The teacher is meant to supply learners with basic information in the form of hints about data collection methods for their future use. The point is that the teacher is expected to deal with the objectives for master two students of didactics. The process implies the short term objectives with reference to equipping students with the necessary tools of investigation as they are expected to embark on research as final partial fulfillment of a master degree. As previously mentioned, learners are meant to be ready for the research process they are meant to carry on. Thus, all students are required to choose a tool of investigation and prepare a lesson about it. Then, the students are expected to present this lesson and hold a discussion about it with their classmates. In this case, Teacher’ s role a prompter and a guide is maintained. This change in teacher’s performance is an opportunity for learners to hold control over their learning process. This procedure is a double-edged measure that targets the achievement of two objectives namely; First, electrifying learners’ role as active participants in the classroom environment. The second objective implies enhancing g a reciprocal teaching/learning process by sharing responsibility over knowledge delivery At this stage, there is another point worth stating which is about learners’ achievement of the coursework. The idea is that they can work individually as learner’s skills and competencies are developed. Then, learners can work collectively for a vain seek of enhancing classroom interactions in the form of students-students’ interactions. As a conclusion, the present syllabus is an attempt to provide learns with the most possible hints about tools of research they can use for their thesis preparation. The input ca be subjected to further expansion and enrichment.

NB. For each lecture, students are expected to present a sample tool of research. Moreover, they are meant to give a possible view about the probable chosen tools for the realization of their future research.
