Research Process 1 - Most Significant Change Technique (MSC)

I'm planning to 'drip feed' the trial research process and findings from term 1 over the next few days so that there isn't too much going on all at once.

The process we trialled last term is called Most Significant Change Technique. Simply put we are asking what the most significant change is that you have noticed from the start of the project. With students we have worked out a reasonably straight forward series of questions that enable us to get good information without prompting unneccessarily. We collate what you and the students tell us, we share it with facilitators and project sponsors to provide feedback and then we share it back with you. 

Sounds a simple enough process but there are a few ins and outs and that is what we have been working on. We have now completed the first trial phase. I have emailed the final stories back to the trial schools today and as they give permission we will share more of the stories and processes with you via the blog.

Please make some comments and ask questions! Thanks.
