This study aims to explore the current structure of curriculum development studies for immigrants and to compile and present academic studies based on determined criteria. In this survey-model-based study, the content analysis method, which is listed among the qualitative research methods, was used for the classification of academic studies. The…

Experimental studies have a considerable impact on the educational policies and practices of many countries. In Turkey, policymakers are planning to initiate a STEM education reform in K-12 schools based on experimental studies. However, the methodological flaws in these studies may lead to biased outcomes and may mislead the STEM education…

The papers presented at the symposium are reproduced in this document as prepared by their authors. For the two speakers who did not prepare papers, only references to papers previously…

To determine priorities for critical problems facing consumer and homemaking education and plan research projects which focus on these critical problems, a 5-day conference was attended by 107 vocational-technical education specialists and educators. Conference sessions were planned to (1) identify critical research problem areas and prepare a…

This document consists of two parts. Part I outlines the general characteristics of science education research in the Federal Republic of Germany (and other German-speaking countries, such as Austria, the German Democratic Republic, and Switzerland). In addition, comparisons are made between research in these countries and research in other…

This annotated bibliography summarizes 70 studies of curriculum implementation, with emphasis on studies of curriculum projects in Australia. Most of the studies reviewed involve data gathering using the Stages of Concern questionnaire and the Levels of Use interview techniques developed by Gene Hall and his colleagues in the 1970s. The studies…

This guide has been designed to help teachers, supervisors, and administrators set up a science or mathematics research program which should provide students with a set of basic "tools" for use in problem solving situations. The guide is organized into 17 chapters. The first 15 chapters focus on: organizing a research program; recruiting students;…

The student traceback model is described and is used to demonstrate various concepts relative to institutional research methodology. The methodology of the problem-solving institutional researcher includes a wide spectrum of how-to's: how to anticipate issues in higher education and estimate their practical institutional impact; how to develop the…

Reviews research from the past 40 years on students' and teachers' conceptions of the nature of science, clarifies the basic assumptions and logic which have guided earlier research efforts, contrasts the results from qualitative and quantitative research, makes recommendations about research methods, and suggests avenues for future research about…
