Abstract

Informal research on student behavior and academic outcomes is conducted on a frequent basis by K-12 as well as higher education teachers. Yet many of these teachers have little or no background in research methodology, nor have they engaged in active application of research methodology within the classroom through problem-based learning exercises. This study addresses the integration of research methods into an online undergraduate course offered to pre-service teachers as well as non-teachers across three major diverse disciplines. The author presents suggested tips and tools that substantiate the online learning experience and that have, through trial and error, been noted as most effective in the online learning environment with these groups of students. Significant benefits of use interactive tools present in the online learning environment are discussed within the context of training on research methods. The importance of sound foundations in research methods are emphasized.
