Chapter 2
The Scientific Approach in
Education
Instructional Objectives
3. List the specific types of research that fall into the broad categories of quantitative and
qualitative research.
5
5. Define mixed-methods research and state its advantages.
6. Identify the research methodology used in given examples of both quantitative and
qualitative research.
10. Distinguish among types of variables: categorical versus continuous and independent versus
dependent.
11. Distinguish between constitutive and operational definitions and explain the importance of
the latter in research.
Chapter Outline

G. Narrative Inquiry
H. Phenomenological Studies
VIII. SUMMARY
Suggestions for Instructors
1. Have students choose a published educational research study in their area of interest and
classify the study as a quantitative or a qualitative study.
2. If the study above is quantitative, have students determine what type of quantitative
methodology is used.
3. If the study is qualitative, have students determine what kind of qualitative study it is.
4. In either type of study above, have the students identify the research problem, the sample, the
data-gathering procedure, and the findings.
5. Have the students compare the approaches and tell why the methodology chosen was the
appropriate one to answer the research question.
6. Provide students with a list of quantitative research topics and have them indicate the
methodology required to investigate the problem.
7
Examples:
(a) The relationship between gender and achievement in advanced mathematics
(b) The relationship between teacher age and extent of burnout
(c) The attitudes of nondisabled students toward their disabled peers
(d) Full-day vs. half-day kindergarten and 1st graders’ reading readiness scores
(e) The effect of using computer simulations on the learning of science concepts
7. Provide students with a list of qualitative research topics and have them identify the type of
study.
Examples:
(a) A study of a school where standardized test schools have significantly improved
(b) How an immigrant child adjusts to an American elementary school
(c) “Political correctness” in social studies textbooks used in American schools
(d) How does a child react to being labeled “learning disabled”?
(e) A study of a settlement school in a remote area of Appalachia
8. Provide students with a list of research problems. Have them identify the independent and
dependent variables in each. Have them give an operational definition of the variables in at
least two of the research problems.
9. Have students locate a research study that would be considered “basic research” and have
them determine if there are any implications of the research for education.
Discussion Questions
1. What is your understanding of the “paradigm war” that went on among educational
researchers in the late 20th century?
2. Which research paradigm do you prefer? Which will you use in your research? Explain
why.
4. Slavin (2004) wrote that “enlightened educators look to education research for
wellfounded evidence to help them do a better job with the children they serve.” Can you
think of some recent evidence-based research findings that have helped teachers in the
classroom?
8
5. Consider a construct like stress. Give a constitutive definition and an operational
definition for stress. How do the definitions differ and which would be more helpful in a
research study?
6. While the various approaches to empirical research in education may differ in types of
problems and methods, there are certain fundamental commonalities to almost all
approaches. Discuss some of these common characteristics.
