Creating Project Pages

Below are instructions for creating your project pages in the wiki. A template is also included which you can cut and paste into a new page. Each project page is structured with the following headers:

Project Name

  1. Summary Table
  2. Abstract
  3. Background & Significance
  4. Glossary
  5. Research questions
  6. Independent Variables
  7. Dependent Variables
  8. Hypotheses
  9. Explanation
  10. Further Information
    1. Connections
    2. Annotated Bibliography
    3. References
    4. Future Plans

Your hypothesis section should make reference to at least one of the instructional principle pages. Then you should edit that instructional principle page so that it at least (1) has the structure in shown in the page for creating instructional principles (even if all sections aren't filled in) and (2) points to your study with a brief summary of the results. You should also (3) read the entry carefully and fill in or edit sections so they are consistent with your findings and with relevant theory.

Be sure that the *Examples* and *Experimental Support* sections of the instructional principle page you point to also points back to your study page.

Please also add references to literature beyond your own work to the *Reference* section of instructional principles pages you edit. You might simply copy these from your study page's reference section and/or papers you have written. By doing so, you can help others (and others can help you) identify relevant research in the field.

Project Page Template

You can copy the following into an instructional principle page you want to edit and then insert existing text into appropriate sections and add text in other sections.


For the wiki project pages, we use the following standard PSLC format

Project Name

==Summary Table==
==Abstract==
==Background & Significance==
==Glossary==
==Research questions==
==Independent Variables==
==Dependent Variables==
==Hypotheses==
==Explanation==
==Further Information==
===Connections===
===Annotated Bibliography===
===References===
===Future Plans===
==Contributions==
==References==
==Future Plans==



If you have more than one study, you can modify it to a format like the one below.

Project Name
==Background==
===Study One===
          ====Hypothesis====
          ====Independent Variables====
          ====Dependent Variables====
          ====Results====
          ====Explanation====
===Study Two===
          ====Hypothesis====
          ====Independent Variables====
          ====Dependent Variables====
          ====Results====
          ====Explanation====
==Contributions==
==References==
==Future Plans==
