Educational research: Method, Purpose, and ethics
METHOD
Try to:
Describe
Explain

LIMITATIONS
Can't answer some questions

Limitations of measuring
instruments

Scientific method in education
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.
Orderly process that:
Recognizes and defines a problem
Formulates an hypotheses
Collects and analyzes data
States the conclusions
