Tiivistelmä
Over the past thirty years, there has been much dialogue, and debate, about the conduct of educational technology research and development. In this brief volume, Justus Randolph helps clarify that dialogue by theoretically and empirically charting the research methods used in the field and provides much practical information on how to conduct educational technology research.
The author, a research methodologist, provides practical information on how to conduct educational technology research – from formulating research questions, to collecting and analyzing data, to writing up the research report – in each
of the major quantitative and qualitative traditions. Unlike other books of this kind, the author address some of research approaches used less commonly in educational technology research, but which, nonetheless, have much potential for creating new insights about educational phenomena – approaches such as single-participant research, quantitative content analysis, ethnography,
narrative research, phenomenology, and others.
Multidisciplinary Methods in Educational Technology Research and Development is an excellent text for educational technology research methods courses, a useful guide for those conducting (or supervising) research, and a rich source of empirical information on the art and science of educational technology research.
