7 Steps to: Pedagogical Research
:recycle:1. Identify a research questions: comes from the concerns of daily life, with many researchers problematising everyday situations to form questions (Lofland & Lofland, 1995)
on an individual level: from situation/ experiences within lecturer room or students' interaction.
on the sectorwide level:things that relevant to higher education level such as national policy
:recycle:6. Disseminate your findings: to gain feedback for the writings
Disseminated through
research journals
Education Unit of Assessment.
conferences
:recycle:2. Consider the theoretical underpinnings: Theoretical and conceptual frameworks provides the rationale and justification for the methodology employed.
Theoretical and conceptual frameworks provides the rationale and justification for the methodology employed.
Pedagogic research: focused on a specific context is commonly criticised for a lack of attention to theoretical positions, which can undermine the wider relevance of the work as it is then seen to be driven by personal or collective interests (Stierer & Antoniou, 2004)
:recycle:3. Formulate a research methodology
Pedagogic research can be based on qualitative and / or quantitative data that can be collected using a range of techniques
triangulation
consider issues:
1.timing (e.g. availability of students out of term time);
data preparation for analysis (e.g. transcription)
resource availability.
:recycle:4. Obtain ethical approval
Function
it has a protective function for the researcher and the researched
2.it supports the professional conduct of research endeavours.
:recycle:5. Analyse data appropriately: It is important to be aware that data may represent the meanings people attribute to their experiences and social worlds (Miller & Glassner, 2004).
Quantitative data can be analysed to establish relationships or correlations, and can provide statistical generalisations.
Qualitative data analyses involve a range of processes, e.g. familiarisation, sorting, coding and indexing, which allow the organisation of the text to aid the development of concepts or theories
:recycle:7. Collaborate: here are significant advantages of collaborating with others.
A good collaborator helps keep you motivated and encourages you to write up your research, as well as making the whole experience more enjoyable
combination of a researcher with an education background and a researcher from another discipline
