RESEARCH METHODS IN EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY

C100

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.
