Day 10 - Purpose Statements and Qualitative Research Questions

EDUC 5400

Below are my initial Purpose Statement and Research Question regarding the impact increased metacognition of practice skills may have on technical development of students in middle school instrumental programs.

Purpose Statement
The purpose of this thematic analysis is to explore how increased metacognition through reflection upon instrumental practicing impacts technical development in Level II middle school band programs.  At this stage in the research, metacognition of instrumental practice will be defined as increased understanding of practicing processes. 

Question

How does middles school band students’ technical ability develop as a result of increased metacognition through reflecting on practicing?
