EDER 601—Fall 2000
|
Whether we notice it or not, doing research is an integral part of our personal and professional lives. The research process is a process of discovery and learning central to living and working. Some research is more formal than other research; many procedures and outcomes characterize it. Not all research processes are created equal! In our professional lives, understanding the process and results of the research enterprise allows us to participate in the creation and dissemination of new knowledge and practices. Assessing and evaluating information before we choose to integrate into our knowledge base or everyday practice is an essential skill in any field. This course provides opportunities to develop a critical view of research perspectives and methods, in application to the field of education. Topics include the scope and nature of the research enterprise, the relationship between theory and research, the objectives of basic versus applied research, research designs and data collection methods, and processes for critiquing research findings. |

Reflection ~October 25, 2004
I have learned many things during that course! I liked the research critique assignment. I think it is a very important skill to develop. I realise now that not all research are equal!! Assignment 3 (major project) was a good one too. I choose to have a better overview and a better understanding of both: Qualitative and Quantitative research and their methods.
