Ross, Karen; Call-Cummings, Meagan – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2020
Across our combined 15 years of experience as methodologists and research methodology instructors, we have found that the concept of 'failure' is only a small portion of methodological literature and is similarly missing from scholarship on teaching and learning social science research methodology. We define failure in terms of our inability as…

Talbott, Maria M.; Lee, Junghee – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2020
Research terminology is an under-examined challenge in the teaching of social science research methods and statistics courses.

For example, the words random, pretest, validity, and regression have more…

This paper takes the concept of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), which is well known in teacher education, and applies it in research methods education where it has not been previously used. It asks how experienced social science research methods teachers, who know their subject (method) well, teach advanced social research methods to others.…
