resources on starting higher education research
The field of engineering education research is active and quite well established. There are a number of resources written for engineers who want to get into education research, and they would be quite useful for anyone thinking about doing SoTL but not having an education or qualitative research background. Let me know what you think of them!
Planning, Implementing, and Reporting Quantitative Research in Education: A User’s Guide
Qualitative Research Basics: A Guide for Engineering Educators
A Guidebook on Conceptual Frameworks for Research in Engineering Education
For a more comprehensive overview of educational research methods, the following is an often-recommended resource. I have a copy if my office if you’d like to borrow it.
Do you have any resources from education research in your discipline? Please share!
