This session explores the more positivistic side of educational research, such as interventions, pseudo-experiments comparative studies, as well as touching on larger-scale surveys. With a nod to sequential and concurrent designs, we'll discuss the power and limitations of more quantitative scholarship designs, ensuring that you leave with an understanding beyond what might be your own 'typical' methodology.
I’m from Arts / Social Sciences, and I’d come because: I don’t normally conduct this type of research and I want to find out more.I’m from MVLS / Science & Engineering, and I’d come because: scholarship of teaching and learning isn’t something I have done in my career, and I want some support in more social science research approaches.
Tea and coffee will be available.
