EDUC 222-3 (EDUCATION)

RESEARCH METHODS IN EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY

CO1.00

This course has been designed as a companion to EDUC 220-3. In EDUC 220, students learn about

major theories and findings in educational psychology and how that information applies to

teaching. In EDUC 222, we invite students to learn more, not only about the theories studied in

EDUC 220, but also about how educational psychologists conduct research to clarify, test, or

develop theory. Students will learn how practicing teachers can enhance their professional

development by accessing and applying principles discovered in the research conducted by

educational psychologists, and by informally, yet systematically, examining their own teaching

practice. To learn more about the applicability of research to practice, students will read, interpret,

evaluate, participate in, and plan research.
