Interdisciplinary Research: Collaborative Insights, 2023
In the past few decades, educational practices have changed drastically, particularly regarding how information and learning are delivered and processed. Education research frequently employs quantitative methods. Quantitative education research provides numerical data that can prove or disprove a theory, and administrators can easily share the quantitative findings with other academics and districts. While the study may be based on relative sample size, educators and researchers can extrapolate the results from quantitative data to predict outcomes for larger student populations and groups. Educational research has a long history of utilising measurement and statistical methods. Commonly quantitative methods encompass a variety of statistical tests and instruments. Educators and students could transition to the digital era and research-based knowledge, including quantitative research in advanced higher education, as the technology has advanced. The quantitative research methods in education emphasise basic group designs for research and evaluation, analytic methods for exploring relationships between categorical and continuous measures, and statistical analysis procedures for group design data. The essential is to evaluate quantitative analysis and provide the research process, sampling techniques, the advantages and disadvantages of quantitative research in the article.
Quantitative research is a more consistent, coherent and data-resulted means of arriving in measuring of what people think from a statistical point of view. Quantitative research can gather prominent amount of data can easily be arranged and controlled into reports for analysis. In quantitative research, numerical data are gathered and mathematical based methods are used for analysis Quantitative research is basically about gathering numerical data to explicate a development especially that needs prompt answers using quantitative methods. It is used to measure mental outlook, beliefs, demeanors, and other defined variables that can be used to generalized results from prominent sample populations Quantitative research pertains to taxonomical of practical thorough check of social developments by the way of statistical, mathematical or computational proficiencies. Quantitative research data are gathered by surveys, audits, purchase points and so on. Quantitative research is quantifiable data to develop the truth or facts and reveal practices in research
This book will help you to plan, design and conduct quality research within the specific context of education and educational studies. An impressive cast of contributors discuss the reality of conducting research in different educational settings and provide practical advice for both undergraduate and postgraduate students and early career researchers doing research in education. The book discusses key philosophical issues such as understanding research paradigms, ethics and selecting appropriate methodologies but remains grounded in the practical experience of the researcher. It has comprehensive coverage of the whole research process from start to finish, is easy to navigate and helps develop key skills such as: •Time management •Creating good research questions and hypotheses •Constructing the literature review •Structuring a project •Writing a proposal •Managing data •Analysing data •Writing for specific audiences Packed full of learning features and showcasing a wide range of voices and opinions this book is an ideal guide for anyone conducting research in education or educational studies.
This course is an introduction to educational and social research for practitioners in schools and human services. The focus will be on fundamental issues in empirical research—that is research based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience, rather than theory or pure logic—including research methodology and research techniques (e.g., data collection, analysis and interpretation). This is not a research design or statistics course. In this course we will focus on: (a) developing an understanding of various kinds of educational and social research; (b) developing skills that will facilitate critical reading of educational and social research; and (c) exploring the role and use of research techniques to reflect upon and improve practice. The course includes “qualitative” and “quantitative” approaches to research. The terms “qualitative” and “quantitative” are commonly used to distinguish between experimental and non-experimental approaches, however, the difference between these “families” of research are more complex. Throughout the course we will explore the methodological as well as the technical differences between the two.
• Identify the interest • Study the interest • Identify possible interesting dimension or problem in the area of interest • Formulate the initial research question in response to the identified dimension or problem in the area of interest • Make an initial research to gain further understanding of the initial research question • Incorporate new findings to the initial research question • Assess whether the research question remains relevant to the area of interest by studying the current state of literature All research inquiry starts from a simple identification of an area on which someone is interested in. A student researcher could be interested in the current state of information and communication technology, educational system, career tracks, use of social media, effects of personal issues on academic performance and impact of social background on education opportunities to name a few. Interests are either developed through life path, innate (such as inclination to music and other performing arts) or ideologically acquired. The identification of interest as the first stage of research inquiry is only reasonable since demands of the process requires undivided commitment and human nature has it that we struggle doing things when it is outside our area of interest.

Qualitative and quantitative research methods are two distinct approaches used in field research. Qualitative research emphasizes subjective experience, interpretation, and context and is commonly used in fields such as women's studies, disability studies, and education. Quantitative research, on the other hand, is based on statistical analysis and is commonly used in fields such as physics and economics. The choice of methodology depends on the research objective, and both methods have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. The debate between the two approaches has ebbed and flowed over the years, with quantitative research dominating the 1940s and 1950s and qualitative research experiencing a resurgence in the 1960s and 1970s. Today, qualitative research is widely used throughout social sciences and applied to a range of disciplines.

transitioning to more research-oriented work, and students conducting their own research, graduate students). Underemphasized Methodological Components Quality of constructed measures (variables). Many quantitative education studies construct measures to meet study needs, for example, measures of student proficiency with fractions.
Mixed-methods research is a flexible approach, where the research design is determined by what we want to find out rather than by any predetermined epistemological position. In mixed-methods research, qualitative or quantitative components can predominate, or both can have equal status. 1.4. Units and variables.
For example, in the context of educational testing, if we wanted to measure the latent variable of a student's knowledge of how to add fractions, then we could consider, say, the proportion correct by each student of a
