Research Topics Suggested by Jen

I have scanned via the article. It is using the Activity approach to interpret the contradictions found within various system in school context in Singapore. Should we apply this into Schools in HK. But I am not familiarize with the Activity Approach. BTW, I have attempt to look at others possible topics, they are:
1) a comparison of the role between IT teacher and librarian in the same setting
2) the effect of the collaboration between teachers and librarian
3) the emerging library media centre
4)the evolution of the role of librarian
5) Participation of librarian in curriculum development

Actually there are numerous topics we can try on, see which of the above interest you or any other alternatives.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Nite,
Jen

Greetings

Dear all,

This is Jennifer from our group called 'Lily'. It is great to have Jessica and Amei as group members. Education research can be a great fun or it can turn out to be a mess. There're lots of analysis and to write up a quality paper is on its demand. I am looking forward to working with my group members.

Amei, can't wait to meet you up for the coming session.

Best,
Jen
