Research – What is it? • “Research is a systematic process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting information (data) in order to increase our understanding of the phenomenon about which we are interested or concerned” (Leedy & Ormrod, 2005, p.2)
Research (Purpose) • Enhance the Quality of Decisions • Document Results • Distribute Findings
Types of Research • Basic • Applied • Action • Variable -
ACTION RESEARCH • Answering a questions within the researchers setting • Sample and population are often the same • no random selection • Uses techniques of more formal approaches • Less able to attend to extraneous variables • Less “generalizable” • More formative
P-12 Ready Fire Aim Higher Education Ready Ready Ready Criticisms of Education
Variables • Anything that can take on different values • Variables may be held constant • Types • independent • dependent • extraneous
Interaction of Variables • Pool Table • Extraneous Variables
Research Evaluation Criterion • “Not is it good?” • “But is it good for us? • Ellis and Fouts • “No idea, no matter how well researched, is worthwhile outside a context of purpose.”
Validity of a Study Internal Extent to which results can be interpreted accurately External Extent to which the results can be generalized to populations (Wiersma, 2000)
Evaluating Research • Objectivity • Free from bias • Generalizability • Sampling techniques • Replicability • Write up, documentation
Triangulation • Multiple measures within a study • validity of the study
Replication • Multiple Studies • Validity of the results
