 * Based on the conversations, groups will post their research question, research plan, tentative hypothesis, literature reviews, & potential research flaws/problems to the appropriate place on http://kduncan.phoenix.wikispaces.net/. (ISAers will need to request wiki membership.)**
 * In the tentative (and later, the final) hypothesis, cite the source(s) used if the hypothesis is based on prior research.
 * Explain WHY your group came up with the tentative hypothesis.**
 * Be as thorough as possible on your group’s potential research flaws/problems
 * Responsibility for posting to the wiki: KIS students**

POWERPOINT

Research Paper
 * Research Question:**
 * Big Picture Q: How do students in different countries spend their time outside of school?
 * Specific Q: How does nationality and gender affect how students of all grades spend their time on the weekends?

[|Average Leisure Time (Americans 15+)] [|Bar Graph of High School Students Free Time (American)] [|Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity From Ages 9 to 15 Years] [|If your kids are awake, they're probably online]
 * Literature Review:**

1. We will do a survey on 20 students from each grade randomly so that it is not biased. It will be 10 boys and 10 girls each since we need to compare the gender as well. On a separate list of the underclassmen names for both girls and boys, we will choose every 10th person. 2. The survey will be done through survey monkey and we will specifically give the link to 80 students through ichat or facebook. If internet is hard, then we will make one through a google document and print it out to hand out. 3. When we are handing them the survey, we will not stand too close so that we intimidate them. Then we will compare the results considering the economic status, gender and nationality.
 * Research Plan:**

Students in Korea, especially girls, will spend their time more on education than students in America.
 * Tentative Hypothesis**

We came up with this thesis since Korea does focus more on education, and also, the students in KIS have a more luxurious background therefore they have the money to invest in more hagwons and other educational programs. Also, girls tend to spend more time studying since they care more about grades.

1. They way the survey is worded can change the response of the participant. 2. The choices that are given in the survey can limit the person's choice 3. If the survey is to be handed out on paper, they might feel that it is not anonymous therefore change their answer 4. When analyzing the results, since we are generalizing it, there could be confirmation bias. 5. Not everyone is the same in spending their weekends so the results might not come to one conclusion.
 * Potential research flaws/problems**

Potential Survey:__SAMPLE__ Study: 0-2 hours 3-4 4-6 More than 6
 * Grade Level: Gender:**
 * How would you say you spend time doing the following activities?**

JustinL: I think that you have a really good big picture and specific question, because the specific question really goes in deep, while the big picture stands outside. Most of the groups' questions do not do that, but I think that you guys did a good job. I also thought that researching for only 20 people is a bit too small, because the response can be bias. And in the hypothesis, it specifies Korean, but I think that you guys need to collaborate more and include the American perspective on the hypothesis. I also thought that increasing the time amount of research will lead to a better result.
