RESEARCH STEPS

1

Identification of a research problem is the first and most FORMULATING THE PROBLEM important step in research process.

A research design is the set of methods and procedures used in collecting

and analyzing measures of the variables specified in the research problem research

Data collection is the process of gathering and measuring information

DATA COLLECTION Example of data collection in the biological sciences: Adélie penguins are identified and weighed each time they cross the automated weighbridge on their way to or from the sea.[1] Data collectio

on targeted variables in an established system, which then enables one to answer relevant questions and evaluate outcomes.

DATA PROCESSING

Operations performed on a given set of data to extract the required information in an appropriate form such as diagrams,

explanation of the process, and its significance to the research.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

a) What is educational research? Educational research refers to a variety of methods, in which individuals evaluate different aspects of education including: “student learning, teaching methods, teacher training, and classroom dynamics. b) What is the relation between educational research and the course Research Project? Research project is the study that what we do to know the context on a subject that is the object of study. Its objective is to find all the evidence related to the phenomenon of which there is no knowledge and increase the possibility of conducting a full investigation while educational research is systematic there are basic steps to plan conduct a study. These include: Identifying a Research Problem. These subjects have a lot of relation on the subject of research because both are in charge of primordial in the same cases.

c) How can educational research and the course Research Project help you in your professional field? The learning of these courses is based on research and offer students a step-by-step guide on the basic aspects of the planning, realization and evaluation of the investigation. A series of characteristics that guide students through the steps and research procedures to provide a perspective of the research process and selection of specific research designs. With some features like:  Advice on planning and conducting educational research.  Checklists that summarize key points such as the evaluation criteria used to evaluate the quality of an educational research.

 Educational research in the context of real and hypothetical studies that illustrate the correct and incorrect ways to inform the investigation.  Follow-up activities in "Understanding of concepts and evaluation of research studies" for help students apply the concepts they have just learned.

d) Which are the ECEDU research lines? ECEDU Research lines are the following: 1. Argumentación pedagogía y aprendizaje. 2. Educación y desarrollo humano. 3. Etnoeducación, cultura y comunicación. 4. Bilingüismo en la educación a distancia mediada por tecnologías. 5. Infancias, educación y diversidad. 6. Visibilidad, gestión del conocimiento y educación: 7. Línea filosofía y educación. 8.

Línea pedagogía, didáctica y currículo. 12. Pedagogías mediadas. e) Why do you need to know the ECEDU research lines? The research lines can be conceived as spaces of convergence multidisciplinary as soon as possible an integration of the various disciplines that share a research theme. f) What are other grade alternatives the university offers you besides the research project? Within the degree work options are:

Applied project This alternative of degree allows the student to design projects for a social transfer of knowledge that contributes in an innovative way to the solution of focused problems. The modalities are:  Business Entrepreneurship Project.  Technological Development Project.  Social Development Project.  Diagnostics. Internship Degree option that the student performs in their field of knowledge or profession, in order to implement, update and strengthen their skills, establish national and international interinstitutional cooperation networks and strengthen their comprehensive training. As a result of the internship, the student must produce a report according to the guidelines and protocols established by their program of origin. Monograph It is a research of a bibliographic nature to which testimonial quotations can be added, in case the subject requires it, based on a critical investigation of the state of the art.
