FALL TERM 2009 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. Through interactive modules,
students learn about and engage with research strategies to promote an understanding of how research impacts
our lives and educational pursuits. To learn more about the applicability of research to practice, students will
read, interpret, evaluate, participate in, and plan research.
