The course aims to give knowledge and skills related to the methodologies and techniques of empirical research in the educational-teaching field in order to find the most appropriate and effective solutions to the problems that educators and trainers encounter in the context in which they operate and for the improvement of the quality of formal educational processes.
Knowledge and understanding
- Understand the role of educational research in setting the general lines of learning;
- Know the reference paradigms of research in education (quantitative approach and qualitative approach).
Applying knowledge and understanding
- Use different data collection techniques;
- Analyze, interpret and represent data.
Making judgements
- Build hypotheses for solving problems based on the theoretical framework adopted;
- Evaluate the impact of research results on educational contexts.
Communication skills
- Draw up a research report in a form that can be understood by teachers and educators;
- Simulate survey paths in groups.
Learning skills
- Acquire a professional approach based on research and informed by research;
- Be able to access the relevant scientific literature.
