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.
