Its five main parts cover: the context of educational research; research design; methodologies for educational research; methods of data collection; and data analysis and reporting. It continues to be the go-to text for students, academics and researchers who are undertaking, understanding and using educational research, and has been translated into several languages. It offers plentiful and rich practical advice, underpinned by clear theoretical foundations, research evidence and up-to-date references, and it raises key issues and questions for researchers planning, conducting, reporting and evaluating research.

This edition contains new chapters on:

Mixed methods research

• The role of theory in educational research

Ethics in Internet research

• Research questions and hypotheses

Internet surveys

Virtual worlds, social network software and netography in educational research, using secondary data in educational research, statistical significance, effect size and statistical power.

• Beyond mixed methods: using Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) to integrate cross-case and within-case analyses.

Research Methods in Education is essential reading for both the professional researcher and anyone involved in educational and social research. The book is supported by a wealth of online materials, including PowerPoint slides, useful weblinks, practice data sets, downloadable tables and figures from the book, and a virtual, interactive, self-paced training programme in research methods.

How to do research is a wise and a well planned strategy

Fatma Aljarrah

This study investigated the effect of using storytelling as a teaching technique to promote students’ listening abilities. The study also investigated the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) teachers’ perspectives of using storytelling in EFL classrooms and the difficulties they face when using this technique. Conducted at three UNRWA schools in Gaza, the researcher employed a pre-posttest design to measure impacts, if any, on students’ listening comprehension. 180 fifth grade UNRWA students and one teacher per school participated in the study. In each school, 2 classes, 30 students each, were chosen for the purpose of the study. Each class was randomly assigned to either a control or an experimental group condition. Teachers’ perceptions of using storytelling in the classroom were investigated via an open-ended questionnaire. The alpha for all analyses was set at 0.05. At the end of the study, findings showed that oral storytelling had a significant influence on students’ listening comprehension skills. Another result indicated that girls outperformed boys in the posttest. However, one surprising finding showed that previous knowledge did not affect students’ performance on the listening comprehension. Regarding teachers’ perceptions, the findings indicated that all three teachers believed that storytelling is a very effective teaching technique to enhance language improvement. Nevertheless, due to some obstacles, they cannot use it very often. Suggestions and recommendations are provided at the end of the study.

ABSTRACT This study investigated the effect of Physics Education Technology (PhET) Simulation as a teaching method in improving the proficiency level of Grade 10 students in Physics. The subjects of the study were the sixty (60) randomly selected Grade 10 students of the General Santos City Sped Integrated School, which were classified into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The study employed the quasi-experimental method of research specifically made use of the Pre-test-Post-test Non-Equivalent Group Design. Results of the study showed significant difference in the pretest and posttest of both the control group (t=13.58, ρ=.000) and the experimental group (t=22.171, ρ=.000). These indicate that both the lecture method and the PhET simulation method are effective methods in teaching Physics. However, when the difference in the mean gain score of the control group (13.87) and the experimental group (18.43) were compared using t-test, the t-value obtained is 3.468 while the ρ-value is .001. Since ρ<.05, then the difference is significant. This means that in terms of gained knowledge in Physics, there is greater learning achieved by the experimental group which was exposed to PhET Simulation method than the control group which is exposed to the lecture method. Thus, the PhET simulation method is more effective in teaching Physics than the lecture method based on their mean gain scores which showed significant difference.

Education-Related Dissertations & Theses

While the ideas we’ve presented above are a decent starting point for finding a research topic in education, they are fairly generic and non-specific. So, it helps to look at actual dissertations and theses in the education space to see how this all comes together in practice.

Below, we’ve included a selection of education-related research projects to help refine your thinking. These are actual dissertations and theses, written as part of Master’s and PhD-level programs, so they can provide some useful insight as to what a research topic looks like in practice.

• From Rural to Urban: Education Conditions of Migrant Children in China (Wang, 2019)
• Energy Renovation While Learning English: A Guidebook for Elementary ESL Teachers (Yang, 2019)
• A Reanalyses of Intercorrelational Matrices of Visual and Verbal Learners’ Abilities, Cognitive Styles, and Learning Preferences (Fox, 2020)
• A study of the elementary math program utilized by a mid-Missouri school district (Barabas, 2020)
• Instructor formative assessment practices in virtual learning environments : a posthumanist sociomaterial perspective (Burcks, 2019)
• Higher education students services: a qualitative study of two mid-size universities’ direct exchange programs (Kinde, 2020)
• Exploring editorial leadership : a qualitative study of scholastic journalism advisers teaching leadership in Missouri secondary schools (Lewis, 2020)
• Selling the virtual university: a multimodal discourse analysis of marketing for online learning (Ludwig, 2020)
• Advocacy and accountability in school counselling: assessing the use of data as related to professional self-efficacy (Matthews, 2020)
• The use of an application screening assessment as a predictor of teaching retention at a midwestern, K-12, public school district (Scarbrough, 2020)
• Core values driving sustained elite performance cultures (Beiner, 2020)
• Educative features of upper elementary Eureka math curriculum (Dwiggins, 2020)
• How female principals nurture adult learning opportunities in successful high schools with challenging student demographics (Woodward, 2020)
• The disproportionality of Black Males in Special Education: A Case Study Analysis of Educator Perceptions in a Southeastern Urban High School (McCrae, 2021)

As you can see, these research topics are a lot more focused than the generic topic ideas we presented earlier. So, in order for you to develop a high-quality research topic, you’ll need to get specific and laser-focused on a specific context with specific variables of interest.  In the video below, we explore some other important things you’ll need to consider when crafting your research topic.
