  1. Area of focus
    • Identify the area of focus. Does it involve teaching and learning?
  2. Research questions
    • Identify the research question(s). Does the researcher state questions that were answerable given the researcher’s expertise, time, and resources?
  3. Locus of control
    • Identify the locus of control. Was the area of focus within the researcher’s locus of control?
  4. Data collection
