Classifying Research
? Two helpful ways to view research
? Purpose
? The degree of direct applicability of research to educational
practices and settings
? Method
? The overall strategies followed to collect and analyze data
Obj. 3.1, 3.2 & 3.5
The Purposes of Research
? Five categories
? Basic
? Applied
? Evaluation
? Research and development (R & D)
? Action
The Purposes of Research
? Basic research
? Collection and analysis of data to develop or enhance
theory
? Examples related to learning theory
? Piaget
? Constructivism
? Mastery learning
? Gardner¡¯s multiple intelligences
The Purposes of Research
? Applied research
? Collection and analysis of data to examine the usefulness
of theory in solving practical educational problems
? Examples
? Developing a seventh grade social studies curriculum around a
problem-solving approach to learning
? Examining the effectiveness of a computer-based algebra program
developed around a mastery learning approach
? Accommodating varied learning styles when teaching lessons in
modern literature
The Purposes of Research
? The interaction of basic and applied research
? Basic research provides the theory that produces the concepts
for solving educational problems
? Applied research provides the data to help support, guide, and
revise the development theory
The Purposes of Research
? Evaluation research
? The collection and analysis of data to make decisions related to
the merit or worth of a specific program
? Merit relates to a program accomplishing what it was supposed to
accomplish
? Worth relates to the value attached to a program by those using it
The Purposes of Research
? Evaluation research
? Types of evaluation
? Formative evaluation is designed to inform and improve a
program while it is being developed or implemented
? Summative evaluation is designed to make decisions regarding the
overall quality of the program being evaluated
The Purposes of Research
? Research and development
? The development of effective products for use in schools
? Examples
? The development of the software to create a computerized algebra
program that incorporates an individualized mastery learning
approach to teaching basic algebraic concepts
? The development of a Smart Board to enhance a teacher¡¯s use of
technology in the classroom
The Purposes of Research
? Action research
? The collection and analysis of data to provide a solution
to the practical, valued problems of educators within
their own school or organization
? Examples
? How can IER move to a performance based model for
undergraduate teacher Training programs?
? How can disciplinary policies be enforced consistently in our
school?
Thank You
