**4. Description of Sample (Research sheet #2) **

1. Our intended sample consists of:

E: The elementary school sample will be a class of 22 6-8 year old students.

P: In the Primary school the sample will be a Grade 5 class, consisting of 22 students.

M: The sample from middle school will be taken from a selection of technology classes following the MYP design cycle from grade 6 through to grade 9. (Class sizes average 21)

2. Demographics are as follows:

a. Age range - E: 6 - 8 years, P: 10-11 years, M: 12-15 years

b. Sex Distribution - E: 10 boys and 12 girls, P: 10 girls, and 12 boys. M: Boys:Girls approx 50:50

M: Majority of Qatari students with a variety of other nationalities from around the world.

d. Location - Qatar Academy Elementary, Primary and Middle schools, Doha, Qatar.

e. Other important characteristics -

The majority of our students are ESL

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The primary and middle school students have a 1:1 laptop programme

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The school is very well resourced and has support staff available

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This is a PYP/ MYP / IB school

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The teachers of the students in this sample are international teachers from 3 different countries

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">3. The type of sample is Convenience because these students are easily available to us and are a representation of students across the Elementary. Primary and Middle years schools.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">4. Sample Selection

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">All teachers will use all members of their classes. For the Middle years, this means 1 class from each of grades 6,7,8 and 9.
