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.

The tutorials

This article or section is currently under construction

In principle, someone is working on it and there should be a better version in a not so distant future.
If you want to modify this page, please discuss it with the person working on it (see the "history")

Planning (these tutorials are not yet good enough ....)
  • There will be about 10-15 short tutorials.
  • I will create them from some slides (PDF) I made for a training course.
  • Stage 1 is to convert, then (if I decide to take time) I'll polish and add more words and links .....
