Description of the Course
This course is composed of teaching/ learning lectures starting from theory to more practical ones. Each lecture is composed of many sequences which, in turn, include separate ultimate objectives. All lectures are designed to be taught consecutively; each one contains sections that discuss the relevant core idea of the subject studied. These sections are regularly interpreted with some exercises and practices in a form of classroom practices for the students to consolidate and assess their understanding of the subjects presented and other projects done outside the classrooms. Furthermore, the course introduces and discusses approaches, strategies, data collection tools, types of methods, etc., relating to educational research. Students will consider how to select the appropriate methodology for use in a study to be performed. Additionally, they will learn how to collect data based on different data collection methods, construct these tools, after piloting them and become ready for use. Finally, it elucidates the requirements for an academic work, considering aspects related to language, writing style such as APA, MLA, etc., and lay-out. To culminate this final stage, students will learn to write comprehensive parts of an academic research among them: research proposal, an abstract, literature review, in-text citations and list of references, title/cover page, that will be conducted in the class via workshops for students each as a part of their class activities and quizzes (see evaluation mode).
