Need brief details of variables and scope of study to giv specific advise

Dear Dr. Rajendra K. Gupta

thanks for your response

The variables include Interactive Smart Board (ISB), EFL self-efficacy, autonomy, language enjoyment, course satisfaction, engagement components (behavioral, agentic, cognitive, emotional, and social), EFL procrastination, and achievement.

What suddenly crossed my mind last night when I was pondering on how I can probe the interrelations between or among the variables within a single design of a study is as follows: First of all, the impact of Interactive Smart Board use on English as Foreign Language learners' self-efficacy, autonomy, language enjoyment, and course satisfaction is examined. Then, the dynamic interplay between EFL self-efficacy, autonomy, language enjoyment, course satisfaction, and EFL engagement components (behavioral, agentic, cognitive, emotional, and social) with regard to the EFL procrastination as well as EFL achievement in authentic language classrooms within some intact face-to-face EFL lessons spread across one academic semester is investigated (I mean, the impact of EFL self-efficacy, autonomy, language enjoyment, course satisfaction on EFL engagement components (behavioral, agentic, cognitive, emotional and social), their interplay and their combined effects on EFL learners’ procrastination as well as their achievement). So, the research I yearn to conduct comprises Interactive Smart Board (ISB), EFL self-efficacy, autonomy, language enjoyment, course satisfaction, engagement components (behavioral, agentic, cognitive, emotional, and social), EFL procrastination, and EFL achievement as my variables.

you know, I want to do longitudinal research within which I collect my research data regarding all the abovementioned variables within some intact face-to-face EFL lessons spread across some sessions. I wish to analyze every session's data separately and individually to explore the variables' interrelations, and how they affect each other, and then, compare all those individual results together to see if there are any fluctuations in EFL self-efficacy, autonomy, language enjoyment, course satisfaction, engagement components (behavioral, agentic, cognitive, emotional, and social), and what are the impacts of those fluctuations on EFL learners' procrastination and achievement.

The first part of the study will be done quantitatively and the second part concerning figuring out the fluctuations between or among the variables will be done qualitatively through teachers' direct observation or EFL learners' self-report.

The challenge confronting me is the first part of the study. And, If my design explained above will work?

Hope the explanations above suffice

Sincerely

longitudinal studies are conducted over reasonably long period of time. For example, in medicines and testing forecasting models. These are conducted when on spot or single time measurement of data not relevant like routine commercial surveys or experiments on some variables in laboratories where lapse of time is not essential to derive conclusions.

Long term side effects of medicines are one such thing. Another is creating weather forecasting models which need reasonable long-time data. Si what you have to do is change various forms/levels of control variables in your study over, say, a semester. In such studies control variables are essential to identify. Please first research literature to see what relations ships of various variables is exist so you can set up constructs. More can advise after seeing your further inputs
