The purposes of research. School-based research is claimed by Joyce (1991) to be one of the five ‘doors’ to improving practice within schools and systematic enquiry into how edu-cational institutions are led is, or should be, a crucial component in institu-tional improvement and improved outcomes.

Oct 20, 2021 · This study provides a refined analysis of how grounded theory, as either as a methodology or as an analytical method, is being used in educational research. We found increasing variety in the types of grounded theory approaches used in educational research over the last two decades.

Cognitive psychological research from the last decades has shown that learning strategies that create desirable difficulties during learning, e.g., practice testing, are most effective for long-term learning outcomes. However, there is a paucity of research on how to effectively translate these insights into training students in higher education. Therefore, we designed an intervention program ...

The review question gives each review its particular structure and drives key decisions about what types of studies to include; where to look for them; how to assess their quality; and how to combine their findings. Although a research question may appear to be simple, it will include many assumptions. Whether implicit or explicit, these assumption...
Reviewers have to make decisions about which research studies to include in their review. In order to do this systematically and transparently they develop rules about which studies can be selected into the review. Selection criteria (sometimes referred to as inclusion or exclusion criteria) create restrictions on the review. All reviews, whether s...
The search strategy is the plan for how relevant research studies will be identified. The review question and conceptual framework shape the selection criteria. The selection criteria specify the studies to be included in a review and thus are a key driver of the search strategy. A key consideration will be whether the search aims to be exhaustive ...
The World Wide Web/InternetBibliographic DatabasesHandsearching of specialist journals or booksContacts with ExpertsStudies identified by the search are subject to a process of checking (sometimes referred to as screening) to ensure they meet the selection criteria. This is usually done in two stages whereby titles and abstracts are checked first to determine whether the study is likely to be relevant and then a full copy of the paper is acquired to complete the...
Once relevant studies have been selected, reviewers need to systematically identify and record the information from the study that will be used to answer the review question. This information includes the characteristics of the studies, including details of the participants and contexts. The coding describes: (i) details of the studies to enable ma...
Methods are reinvented every time they are used to accommodate the real world of research practice (Sandelowski et al. 2012). The researcher undertaking a primary research study has attempted to design and execute a study that addresses the research question as rigorously as possible within the parameters of their resources, understanding, and cont...
A synthesis is more than a list of findings from the included studies. It is an attempt to integrate the information from the individual studies to produce a ‘better’ answer to the review question than is provided by the individual studies. Each stage of the review contributes toward the synthesis and so decisions made in earlier stages of the revi...

May 19, 2016 · Educational Effectiveness Research (EER) presents a broad concept that connects an array of research approaches in diverse fields of education, whose common goal is to explore and identify the features of teaching, curriculum and environment in which the educational process occurs, at the levels of the classroom, school or broader community, to explain, directly or indirectly, the differences ...

Jun 5, 2012 · The emotions are not “a state within a state.”. They cannot be understood outside the dynamic of human life. It is within this context that the emotional processes acquire their meaning and sense. (Vygotsky, 1987, p. 333) That teaching is emotionally charged work is hardly news to those who face its rigors and rewards on a daily basis. At ...
