Educational research refers to a variety of methods, in which individuals evaluate different aspects of education including: “student learning, teaching methods, teacher training, and classroom dynamics”.〔 〕 Educational researchers have come to the consensus that educational research must be conducted in a rigorous and systematic way,〔〔 although what this implies is often debated.〔 There are a variety of disciplines which are each present to some degree in educational research. These include psychology, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy.〔〔 The overlap in disciplines creates a broad range from which methodology can be drawn.〔〔 The findings of educational research also need to be interpreted within the context in which they were discovered as they may not be applicable in every time or place.〔 ==Characteristics== Gary Anderson outlined ten aspects of educational research:〔 * Educational research attempts to solve a problem. * Research involves gathering new data from primary or first-hand sources or using existing data for a new purpose. * Research is based upon observable experience or empirical evidence. * Research demands accurate observation and description. * Research generally employs carefully designed procedures and rigorous analysis. * Research emphasizes the development of generalizations, principles or theories that will help in understanding, prediction and/or control. * Research requires expertise—familiarity with the field; competence in methodology; technical skill in collecting and analyzing the data. * Research attempts to find an objective, unbiased solution to the problem and takes great pains to validate the procedures employed. * Research is a deliberate and unhurried activity which is directional but often refines the problem or questions as the research progresses. * Research is carefully recorded and reported to other persons interested in the problem. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Educational research」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
