research. It focuses on the methods, tools, and devices used in research in
education, as well as the development of skills, insights, and understandings
basic to performing research. The course
presents vocabulary, principles, definitions and methods of educational
research that allow students to understand the logic of conducting educational
research, to plan a research study, and to formally conduct and report research
findings. In addition, students will explore several research methods and be
able to design a research proposal that could be implemented in their
administrative, teaching, or counselling environment
