Educational research: Method, Purpose, and ethics - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Can't answer some questions
      - Can't capture everything of the research site and participants
      - Limitations of measuring
        instruments
      - Need to address participants’ needs in ethical and responsible ways
    - - Educational research is the formal systematic application to the study of educational problems
        
        The research process has:
        
        Selection and definition of a problem
        
        Execution of research procedures
        
        Analysis of data
        
        Drawing and stating conclusions
        
        DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
        
        Quantitative research
        
        Collection and analysis of numerical data
        
        hypotheses that predict the results
        
        the world is relatively stable, uniform, and coherent.
        
        Qualititative research
        
        Collection, analysis, and interpretation of comprehensive narrative and visual (nonnumeric) data
        
        Defining the problem
        
        The world is not stable, coherent, or uniform, and therefore there are many truths.
        
        Mixed
        
        Includes both
        data in a single study
        
        The purpose is to build on the synergy and strength
        
        CLASSIFICATION OF RESEARCH BY:
        
        Design
        
        Quantitative
        
        Describe current conditions, investigate relations, and study cause–effect phenomena.
        
        Study the behavior change that an individualor group exhibits as a result of some intervention
        
        Qualitative
        
        include narrative, ethnographic and case study research.
        
        conducting research on a unit of study or bounded system
        
        Purpose
        
        basic and applied research
        
        develop or refine theory, not to solve immediate practical problems.
        
        evaluation
        
        inform decision making about educational
        programs and practices
        
        research & development
        
        develop effective products for use in schools.
        
        action research
        
        provide teacher-researchers with a method for solving
        everyday problems
        
        THE ETHICS OF EDUCATiONAL RESEARCH
        
        All researchers must be
        aware of and attend to ethical considerations
        
        The two overriding rules of ethics are:
        
        participants shouldn't be harmed in any way
        
        researchers must obtain the participants’ informed consent.
