You want to test your teaching performances. You are thinking of making evidence-based changes in the education of your students. Or you simply want to find out how to properly research education. If so, you are on the right page!

Educational research is the application of the scientific methods to study educational practices. Educational research uses an organized approach to asking and answering questions and reporting the results. Thus, educational research is as systematic as scientific research. The goal is to evaluate, develop, share and improve teaching/educational practice for students, academics, and policy makers.

There are key aspects to be considered when conducting an Educational Research. This workshop will focus on designing an educational research, identifying a research question, reviewing the literature, and choosing appropriate research methods to collect, analyse and interpret the data.

Dates and venue: 4th and 5th October 2022, University of Zagreb, HR-10000 Zagreb, Croatia
