SUMMER SEMESTER 2007 COURSE OUTLINE
EDUC 222-3 (EDUCATION) ?
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.
