Course Objectives

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

Understand the aims and importance of reviewing previous research
Develop knowledge on how to critically read and assess the elements of research papers discussed during the first semester
Comprehend the significance and types of research hypotheses in quantitative research
Distinguish between usable and unusable hypotheses
Describe the steps required for testing a null hypothesis
Identify appropriate methods for collecting quantitative and qualitative data.
Evaluate the strengths and limitations of different data collection techniques.
Apply key principles and techniques for analyzing quantitative and qualitative research data.

Description of the Course

This course provides an overview of a key element in research: reviewing existing literature and formulating hypotheses, and conducting data collection and analysis. First, it introduces the section on 'Literature Review,' highlighting its significance and structure in research. Second, it discusses the characteristics and importance of well-defined hypotheses in quantitative research, emphasizing their role in the overall success of research. Additionally, the course covers the methods for collecting both quantitative and qualitative data, guiding students in choosing appropriate techniques for their research. Finally, it explores key approaches to analyzing collected data and interpreting the results to draw meaningful conclusions.

Course Prerequisites

Prior to taking this course, students must have a foundational knowledge of educational research and the methodological skills acquired in the first semester.

Teaching Materials

Links, videos, PDF files, and PPT presentations.

Evaluation

Students' knowledge and understanding of the course are assessed at the end of each teaching unit through individual or small group work.
