TOPIC FOR RESEARCH IN EDUCATION

What are the good topics for research in the classroom or educational field?

We have somany Topic to research Like we have Google, somay students prefer to go online more than to buy a book or anything else.

There are so many possible areas that you could research that it might be helpful if you could narrow it down for us a bit by telling us what general field(s) you might be interested in.

For example, you might be interested in the teaching of reading.  If that is the case, you might want to look at various methods for teaching reading and try to determine their respective levels of effectiveness.  You could examine how students using the various methods or curricula do in terms of their improvement from year to year on standardized tests.

As another example, you might be interested in studying a bigger picture issue.  One such issue might be charter schools.  You might look at whether charter schools are able to do a better job than traditional public schools with similar student bodies.

Research in education can cover a vast range of topics.  These are topics that would interest me.  What general areas interest you?

education is economically feasible and as good or better than the education that occurs in a normal instructional day.

Right now somany people research if online This is really becoming an issue in an economic day and age like this one. Particularly in high school, much time is devoted to the management of students and putting a specific amount of seat time into the school year in order to achieve goals set by state boards of education. If students can complete school in less time, should they be able to? If students could use more time, should they be able to? Some People they don’t have access to computer.

 I would analyze the impact of the standardized high stakes tests that are becoming more prevalent as a result of NCLB. I would attempt to determine the actual amount of classroom time being devoted to learning how to take tests and how to answer test items, and then evaluate whether the test items being used to practice for the tests have any relationship to the core curriculum information that students are supposed to be learning.

Some people comments below:

I actually taught a course based on Educational Research where the students as part of their study to become teachers had to conduct a small scale research project. They always came up with really fascinating ideas. Here are a few:

1) Does listening to music whilst taking tests improve scores?

2) What is the impact of publishing results of work to the entire class? Does it help students to improve?

3) Does the layout of a classroom make teaching more effective?

4) To what extent do students learn better if IT is incorporated into lessons as opposed to traditional teaching?

5) Which teaching approaches appeal more to different learning styles?

6) Does homework actually improve performance?

7) How can feedback on work best improve student performance?

All fascinating topics! Enjoy!

Choose something that is meaningful to you.  Think of your experience in school as a student or from a teacher's perspective.  What has always bothered you?  Have you always questioned why things are done a certain way?  Is there anything you feel can be improved?  Choose something you're passionate about.
