Specific objectives carried out during the course are the following:
- identify theoretical and methodological framework as regards empirical and experimental research;
- define a problem for research;
- design and project hypotheses in educational research;
- identify the main research tools;
- learn how to critically redraft hypotheses;
- identify paths to solve educational issues.

In terms of knowledge and understanding:
- knowledge of the main theoretical foundations of research in educational context;
- knowledge of the main phases of the educational research process;
- knowledge of the main analysis tools and evaluation methods in education.
In terms of applying knowledge and understanding:
- ability to define hypothesis in the educational research context;
- ability to use the main data collection tools;
- ability to use the main tools for analyzing and evaluating data.
In terms of making judgements
- ability to formulate research projects in the educational context that respond to the educational needs of a given situation;
- ability to formulate judgments on experimental educational situations.
In terms of communication skills
- ability to present the objectives and phases of an educational research project in an orderly and reasoned way;
- ability to critically expose the analyses and evaluations of an experimental research project in educational context.
In terms of learning skills:
- willingness to explore the perspectives of research in education.
