Classroom Observation
Interview Transcripts
Interview #1 with myself and Mrs. Evans.
Myself: Hello I am a student and I am interested in observing your classroom for one hour of play if that is possible?
Mrs. Evans: Sure, we have playtime at 10:00 AM and at 1:00pm.
Myself: Great, I just need to observe one student. I will be there tomorrow at 12:30.
Mrs. Evans: Your welcome, I will speak to you again when you arrive. Make sure to come prepared to learn and take some good notes.
Myself: Thanks again for this opportunity and I appreciate your time.
Interview #2 with myself and Mrs. Evans
Mrs. Evans: A good student for your observation today would be Billy.
Myself: Thanks, I was going to ask if there is a student you recommend I observe.
Mrs. Evans. Billy is one of the smartest kids in the class and really teaches the other kids what he knows and is learning.
Myself: Sounds like a good test subject. I am just going to sit in the corner and take notes and stay out of the way.
Mrs. Evans: These kids won't probably notice you are there.

The game becomes too disruptive and Mrs. Evans commanded the group for a mandatory rest time for the remainder of the session.
Second Observation
- Billy began to play again with his blocks, in a very similar fashion as before.
- 10 minutes into playtime Billy began kicking and biting another student and was sent to the nurses office. Mrs. Evans advised me that the observation period was over and good luck on my education.

Technology in History Classes] Since the beginning of education in the U.S., the classroom setting has remained the same: Students have sat quietly in their seats with just a pencil, textbook and lined paper to practice their "readin', riting and 'rithmetic."

However, some qualitative researchers argue that any type of research is subjective: they believe that even the approach of quantitative research disguises idiosyncratic aspects of reality and even the most rigorously empirical construct says more about a researcher's biases than an external reality.
