Exploring methodologies in educational research

Case study

You want to conduct research into student responses to different teaching styles across several classes and teachers.
  • What precautions can you take to avoid bias in your research?
  • What precautions can you take to preserve the anonymity of students and teachers?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your assessor.
