The Human Sciences - measuring happiness

This will be a joint lesson with Mr Richard's Group.

We will be looking at the Knowledge Question:

What are the main difficulties that human scientists encounter when trying to provide explanations of human behaviour?

You will work in the cross class groups linked here.

1st Task.

In your group allocate roles:

Director: It is your role to direct the group & keep the group on track.

Scribe 1: It is your role to record the working of the group.

Scribe 2: It is also your role to record the working of the group.

Value Adder: It is your role to add value to your group's learning. This could be adding intellectual value, Presentation value, inter-social value etc.

2nd Task.

Your group are tasked with working out how to measure happiness at KIS. You have to design a piece of research which answers the question: How happy are KIS students ?

This is hypothetical research (you won't actually have to do it), so use your imagination.

Present your research design as a poster on A3 paper to be looked at by other groups.

3rd Task.

A Groups visit the Poster Presentation of B Group's, and listen to their Research Design. A Groups identify the strengths & the weaknesses in the methodology of the B Group's research plan.
