Research Interest

1.      Research In Education Follows A Scientific Process. Support The View.

Portal

2.      Scientific Process (SP): In Education, As In Other Disciplines, The SP Is Used To Test, Evaluate, And Refine Theories. Theories Are Systematic Explanations For Observed Facts Or Phenomena. That Is, A Theory Provides A Consistent, Systematic View Of Variables (variables) And Relationships Among These Variables.

3.      Scientific Process (SP): The SP Is Simply A Way To Gain An Understanding Of Things Around Us. The SP Is A Step-by-step Procedure For Studying Things--it Is A Systematic Approach To Learning About Phenomena In Education And Other Disciplines. In Education, As In Other Disciplines, The SP Is Used To Test, Evaluate, And Refine Theories.

4.      Theories Are Systematic Explanations For Observed Facts Or Phenomena. That Is, A Theory Provides A Consistent, Systematic View Of Variables (variables) And Relationships Among These Variables. [To Learn About Variables, See This Page On Variables.]

5.      The Purpose Of A Theory Is To Provide Explanation And Perhaps Prediction Regarding Some Phenomena. A Theory Is A General Explanation For Different Kinds Of Behavior Found In Education, Like Piaget’s Notions About The Stages Of Development Which Have Substantially Impacted The Teaching Of Children.

6.      For Example, The Figure Below Displays One Possible Explanation For Student Attrition (dropping Out) From High School. Various Constructs (variables) Are Displayed As Well As The Possible Linkages (the Arrows) Between Them. For Example, In This Theoretical Model, Academic Performance Is Expected To Have A Direct Effort On Whether A Student Drops Out Of School.

7.      Note That Theories Make Assumptions About Causal Linkages (causality) Between Constructs, Between Variables. Causality Essentially Means That For A Given Action, There Will Be A Reaction. Stated Differently, If A Occurs, Then B Will Result. Use The Model Above, The Theory Holds That If Academic Performance In School For A Student Is Poor, Then That Student Is More Likely To Drop Out Of School.
