What?
I learned a lot about the different types of research that can be done. I never knew about anything other than the experimental research.
Descriptive: is a study that you can do just by describing a situation.
Correlation: is a study where you look at the relationship between two, or more things.
Experimental: is the typical research type with the control group with different variables tested.
Action Research: can be done in a classroom or school by teachers or personnel to make changes in the way things are done.
So What?
I think this a great base for what we will be learning about the rest of the semester. Everything we learn will be added on to the foundation we now have.
Now What?
I think it would be helpful to study different studies done in each of the research areas. It would help me to see how they are carried out. Right now I just know about the research types and have read a few studies. Maybe it would be beneficial to even participate in each of the research types to get an inside view about how everything works.
Elaborate on this, Amee. How will it help you as a future teacher? What things might you want to research?
