 RESEARCH STEPS

Identification of a research problem is the first and most

1 FORMULATING THE PROBLEM
important step in research process.

A research design is the set of methods and procedures used in collecting

2 RESEARCH DESIGN and analyzing measures of the variables specified in the research problem

research

Data collection is the process of gathering and measuring information

3 DATA COLLECTION on targeted variables in an established system, which then enables one to

answer relevant questions and evaluate outcomes.

Example of data collection in the

biological sciences: Adélie penguins are

identified and weighed each time they

cross the automated weighbridge on their

way to or from the sea.[1]

Data collectio
 DATA PROCESSING Operations performed on a given set of data to extract the

required information in an appropriate form such as diagrams,

reports, or tables.

The conclusion of the study comprises a summarizing and

FINALIZING THE RESEARCH explanation of the process, and its significance to the
5 DRAFT research.
 ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

a) What is educational research?

Educational research refers to a variety of methods, in which individuals evaluate different

aspects of education including: “student learning, teaching methods, teacher training, and
classroom dynamics.

b) What is the relation between educational research and the course Research Project?

Research project is the study that what we do to know the context on a subject that is the
object of study. Its objective is to find all the evidence related to the phenomenon of which there
is no knowledge and increase the possibility of conducting a full investigation while educational
research is systematic there are basic steps to plan conduct a study. These include: Identifying a
Research Problem.

These subjects have a lot of relation on the subject of research because both are in charge of
primordial in the same cases.

c) How can educational research and the course Research Project help you in your
professional field?

The learning of these courses is based on research and offer students a step-by-step guide on
the basic aspects of the planning, realization and evaluation of the investigation. A series of
characteristics that guide students through the steps and research procedures to provide a
perspective of the research process and selection of specific research designs.

With some features like:

 Advice on planning and conducting educational research.

 Checklists that summarize key points such as the evaluation criteria used to evaluate
the quality of an educational research.
  Educational research in the context of real and hypothetical studies that illustrate the
correct and incorrect ways to inform the investigation.
 Follow-up activities in "Understanding of concepts and evaluation of research studies"
for help students apply the concepts they have just learned.

d) Which are the ECEDU research lines?

ECEDU Research lines are the following:

1. Argumentación pedagogía y aprendizaje.

2. Educación y desarrollo humano.
3. Etnoeducación, cultura y comunicación.
4. Bilingüismo en la educación a distancia mediada por tecnologías.
5. Infancias, educación y diversidad.
6. Visibilidad, gestión del conocimiento y educación:
7. Línea filosofía y educación.
8. Historia y prospectiva de la educación abierta y a distancia.
9. Educación intercultural e inclusiva.
10. Factores asociados a la calidad de la educación a distancia.
11. Línea pedagogía, didáctica y currículo.
12. Pedagogías mediadas.
e) Why do you need to know the ECEDU research lines?

The research lines can be conceived as spaces of convergence multidisciplinary as soon as

possible an integration of the various disciplines that share a research theme.

f) What are other grade alternatives the university offers you besides the research
project?

Within the degree work options are:

 Applied project

This alternative of degree allows the student to design projects for a social transfer of
knowledge that contributes in an innovative way to the solution of focused problems. The
modalities are:

 Business Entrepreneurship Project.

 Technological Development Project.
 Social Development Project.
 Diagnostics.

Internship

Degree option that the student performs in their field of knowledge or profession, in order to
implement, update and strengthen their skills, establish national and international inter-
institutional cooperation networks and strengthen their comprehensive training. As a result of the
internship, the student must produce a report according to the guidelines and protocols
established by their program of origin.

Monograph

It is a research of a bibliographic nature to which testimonial quotations can be added, in case

the subject requires it, based on a critical investigation of the state of the art. Systematizes
solutions or approaches to address environmental problems or border thematic areas in the
curriculum of a formal program.

Postgraduate credits at the level of specialization or Masters

Option of degree that allows the student of a degree training program, the option to take and
pass, at least ten (10) academic credits of a graduate program of the UNAD, without this giving
the quality of student of postgraduate. If the student continues the training chain, the academic
credits will be recognized once they enroll in the postgraduate program, after meeting the
established entrance requirements.
 Deepening Diploma

The student of a vocational training program will have the option of taking and passing a
high-level deepening diploma with the assignment of ten (10) academic credits, designed in a
special way by the respective School, as an alternative to degree work. This option of degree that
allows the student to update, complement, appropriate or deepen new learning in a specific field
of knowledge, typical of their subject of study or academic program.

g) Which degree alternative would you choose and why?

Today constant training is a requirement in the labor market, therefore, to stand out among many
other candidates, there is nothing better than studying a diploma.
