Types of Educational Research 
We discuss three major types of educational research in EdPsych 
Descriptive 
Descriptive studies attempt to describe things as they currently are. For example, a teacher might 
observe a student who is not doing well in his class and keep a record of his daily patterns. 
Another teacher might interview members of her class to find out their interests. A third teacher 
may survey his class for talents they are willing to share. A final teacher may ask students to use 
a reading program so that she can understand their current literacy level. Notice the following two 
important things: 
 None of the teachers in these scenarios change anything in their classroom (they don't 
use a new technique, for example) 
 None of the teachers in these scenarios are trying to prove that one thing causes another 
Correlational 
Correlational studies attempt to identify a relationship between two or more things. For example, 
a teacher might observe a student who seems to get up a lot to determine if he gets up at the 
same time, during the same subject, etc., each day. Another teacher might dis cover that 
members of her class who take music lessons tend to do better in math. The following two 
important notes apply here: the teacher is not changing anything and the teacher is not tyring to 
prove that one thing causes another. 
Experimental 
Experimental studies attempt to demonstrate a causal relationship between two or more things. 
They typically involve two or more groups (control group and experimental group) that are 
randomly assigned (people are picked at random to be in each group). For example, a teacher 
may implement a new computerized math program with half of her class and have the other class 
stick to methods she used before. Then she might use pre- and post-tests to determine if the 
math program made a difference in achievement. Notice that the teacher in this scenario made a 
change and is trying to prove causation. 
Now, this example is not a true experimental study because it takes place in the classroom and 
does not have all of the controls that a true experiment would have. However, it's as close as we 
can get in the classroom. We call this, or any research that is directed by the teacher in the 
classroom, action research. Notice that there may be ethical issues to consider with action 
research, such as, "Is it fair for one group to get a type of instruction that may be more effective

Educational Psychology 
What is Educational Psychology? 
Nerdy definition: "The application of 
psychology and psychological 
methods to the study of 
development, learning, 
motivation, instruction, 
assessment, and related issues 
that influence the interaction 
of teaching and learning." 
(Elliott, et.al., 2000) 
Plain English definition: "Trying to 
figure out how people learn so 
we can teach them more effectively." 
The philosopher William James said that a knowledge of ed psych is important for three 
reasons: “first, to provide the underpinnings for beliefs about instruction; second, to 
prohibit teachers from making certain egregious errors; and third, to provide intellectual 
support to teachers for some of their pedagogical decisions” (Berliner, 1993). In other words, 
the study of educational psychology gives us a foundation to help make better decisions about 
how we teach.

Educational Psychology: 
 What makes a good 
teacher? 
 What is a theory? 
 How can theories be 
useful?

types of educational 
and psychological 
research? 
 What are the 
advantages and 
trade-offs of these 
different types of 
research? 
The materials on this site will help you with the following: 
1. Apply learning theories to the resolution of teaching and learning problems. 
2. Recognize the strengths and weaknesses of learning theories, and how these strengths 
and weaknesses influence the applicability of the theory to a given circumstance. 
3. Critically examine personal theories and beliefs about teaching and learning. 
4. Collaborate with others to discuss issues and solve instructional problems. 
5. Recognize and create assessment instruments that are valid measures of learning. 
6. Apply principles of motivation to improve teaching and learning.

Search Home Teaching and Learning Educat ional Psychology Educational Research Related Links Types of Educational Research We discuss three major types of educational research in EdPsych Descriptive Descriptive studies attempt to describe things as they currently are. For example, a teacher might observe a student who is not doing well in his class and keep a record of his daily patterns. Another teacher might interview members of her class to find out their interests. A third teacher may survey his class for talents they are willing to share. A final teacher may ask students to use a reading program so that she can understand their current literacy level. Notice the following two important things:  None of the teachers in these scenarios change anything in their classroom (they don't use a new technique, for example)  None of the teachers in these scenarios are trying to prove that one thing causes another Correlational Correlational studies attempt to identify a relationship between two or more things. For example, a teacher might observe a student who seems to get up a lot to determine if he gets up at the same time, during the same subject, etc., each day. Another teacher might dis cover that members of her class who take music lessons tend to do better in math. The following two important notes apply here: the teacher is not changing anything and the teacher is not tyring to prove that one thing causes another. Experimental Experimental studies attempt to demonstrate a causal relationship between two or more things. They typically involve two or more groups (control group and experimental group) that are randomly assigned (people are picked at random to be in each group). For example, a teacher may implement a new computerized math program with half of her class and have the other class stick to methods she used before. Then she might use pre- and post-tests to determine if the math program made a difference in achievement. Notice that the teacher in this scenario made a change and is trying to prove causation. Now, this example is not a true experimental study because it takes place in the classroom and does not have all of the controls that a true experiment would have. However, it's as close as we can get in the classroom. We call this, or any research that is directed by the teacher in the classroom, action research. Notice that there may be ethical issues to consider with action research, such as, "Is it fair for one group to get a type of instruction that may be more effective Learni ng object i ves At tent i on econo my
