Hello from India: I'm in the prospecting stages of a project with an environmental education/research NGO. We're discussing how to incorporate rigorous survey methods into a classroom / take home exercise for secondary school students. We envision a "short course" with students that probes environmental degradation, social institutions, economics, inequality, development, conservation, history, etc. Through the course (and our own research) we hope to cooperatively develop a household survey (possibly multiple instruments) that students can then take home to answer with their families. There are some ethical and methodological concerns to navigate but we hope this will be a interesting learning opportunity (for students/teachers/researchers alike) that also generates rich data for communities, officials and scholars. Anyone here tried this kind of teaching/research before? Specific resources you can point me to? Examples (either success stories or cautionary tales)? Other thoughts or concerns? I'll of course respond back to the group with responses compiled.
