ETEC 500 Research Methodology

This course was a an intensely critical look at the methodology used to undertake research with validity. We explored ethics in research completing the CORE training, and discussed in depth the mechanisms that make both qualitative a quantitative studies robust, ethical ,and valid.  We explored mixed studies quasi-experimental and many others to determine the criteria that must be adhered to in order to satisfy ethics committees and peer review.   This course really changed the way I view educational publications of "best practice" and pedagogy. I have been much more critical of what I view as legitimate educational research and find that I am supporting my thinking with much more rigorous investigative publications.
