A Pedagogical Framework for Reimagining Research Methods Education: An Example From a Doctoral Statistics Course

• In Event: Accepting Educational Responsibility: Approaches and Frameworks to Teaching Research Methods

Abstract

This paper presents a new approach to teaching research methodology courses in doctoral programs by incorporating a flipped classroom structure and a research-practice partnership within a larger guided project-based learning framework. The theoretical underpinnings for each component are described along with a summary of relevant literature. The development and implementation of this pedagogical technique in a graduate statistics course in a practitioner-oriented educational leadership doctoral program are discussed. The paper concludes with the benefits of the approach and implications for professors of educational research.
