This is an introductory course in the fundamental concepts, principles, and methods of educational research. It is a survey course that serves as a foundation for practitioners who have little or no experience in educational research. The four general goals of the course are to enable students to: become literate in the basic concepts, principles, and techniques of educational research; acquire basic skills in the analysis and interpretation of research data; appreciate the underlying cognitive processes involved in conducting educational research as a form of thinking and problem-solving; acquire the skills associated with the critical reading and evaluation of the educational research literature and engage in collaborative action research.
