CIP Studies
CIP studies are reports by educatiors
who used the CIP in the EDUC 606 course
to examine cultural influences related to their practice; all
proper
names in the studies are pseudonyms.
CIP studies included on the CIP Web site as of 2004
are listed below alphabetically by author. They can also be accessed
from
the
relevant
pages among
steps
3, 4,
and
5 through the Related Success Stories
and CIP Studies links.
Note: As part of the revision of the CIP Web site in 2004, a 7th step (Write a report of your CIP study) was added to the CIP to make the writing component more explicit. All the studies listed below were conducted using the previous 6-step Cultural Inquiry Process, although they also implicitly followed the current 7th step.
