Research Design for Educational Technologists
- Description
- This is a "crash course" on Research Design and Research Methodology for educational technologists and related fields (somewhat)
- Some practical issues for the making of a Master thesis are also addressed.
- Target audience are Master Students in Educational Technology from various backgrounds.
- Status
- For now, various parts of this tutorials are meant for class-room teaching. I just imported slides I once made. The idea is to add some stuff over time - Daniel K. Schneider
- Objectives
- Know about fundamental principles of an academic project
- Be familiar with three major classes of research designs: (1) Theory-testing approaches, (2) Qualitative and new theory-creating research, (3) Design-science research.
- Be aware of the fundamental elements of a Research Design: (1) Definition of a subject, (2) Research Goals and Questions, (3) Short Literature Review and selection of theoretical and conceptual frameworks, (4) Approach and Methodology: Operational Research Questions, Analysis frameworks and methodological techniques.
- Master the basics of a few selected research methodologies, e.g. data gathering, sampling, simple quantitative and qualitative data analysis.
- Deliverable: A draft project for a master thesis
We shall both introduce some high level/abstract concepts about academic research and "down-to-earth" techniques like fundamentals of data analysis.
- Objectives of these tutorials
