The purpose of this exploratory study was to document aspects of research methodology in educational leadership directed at emerging school leaders and the academic community that supports them. The intricacy of educational challenges highlights the necessity for a thorough investigation, the results of which will inform suitable reforms. Scholars have long argued about which of the qualitative and quantitative approaches is more rigorous in its contribution to the development of education. Some academics contend that since education focuses primarily on human behaviour, which is value-laden, research in this area should take a qualitative approach. Results indicate that while qualitative methods were more common in the arts, quantitative methods dominated research in education and the sciences. However, the social sciences frequently used a blend of qualitative and mixed approaches. The findings' implications for improving research methodology skills and the integrity of educat...

Without measurement, forward progress would not be possible in educational or other research contexts. Measurement, the process by which a variable is operationalized for the purpose of describing that variable in a quantitative manner (Hills, 1981; Kane, 2001), serves as the link between questions and answers. While the process of measurement bridges the gap between research objectives/questions and the data that is collected, measurement techniques (i.e., analytical approaches) bridge the gap between data and conclusions. Sound research is founded on three underlying concepts which serve as pillars to its structure: theoretical relevance, a sound process of measurement, and appropriate analytic methods. Theoretical relevance is important in that it ties new research to existing research and should guide the development of research questions and hypotheses. However, theoretical relevance is only a part of measurement insofar as it leads to the identification of key variables to be ...

The purpose of this study is to compare the results of quantitative research data processing in the field of education management using Lisrel, Tetrad, GSCA, Amos, SmartPLS, WarpPLS, and SPSS software for small samples or respondents. This research method is quantitative and research data analysis uses the four types of software to obtain a comparison of the results of the analysis. The analysis in this study focuses on the analysis of hypothesis testing and regression analysis. Regression analysis is used to measure how much influence the independent variable has on the dependent variable. The field of this research is education management and the research data uses quantitative data derived from questionnaire data for a small sample of 32 respondents with three research variables, namely the independent variable of transformational leadership and job satisfaction, while the dependent variable is teacher performance. Based on the results of the analysis using Lisrel, Tetrad, GSCA, ...

This course is designed for master’s and doctoral students who wish to gain a general understanding of the process of conducting research in education. The course offers an introduction to a variety of design approaches including quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods. Key concepts examined include: • Identifying a Research Problem • Reviewing the Literature • Design and Analysis • Communicating Evidence • The Ethics of Research At the conclusion of the course, students should be able to effectively evaluate and critique methods sections of research publications including journal articles and policy reports; engage in the process of preparing research relating to education policy, organization or leadership; and organize a presentation of research to an audience of peers.

Research methods used in articles published in the "American Educational Research Journal" (AERJ), "Educational Researcher" (ER), and the "Review of Educational Research" (RER) were studied for the years 1978 to 1997. Articles were read to identify and categorize the research methods and statistical techniques used in each. A breakdown is provided for each of the journals, with a further division into decades that reflects the increasing use of computer assisted methodology. Results for the AERJ and the three journals combined are consistent with previous research by L. Goodwin and W. Goodwin (1985) in which methods in rank order, are: (1) analysis of variance/analysis of covariance; (2) multiple regression; (3) bivariate correlation; (4) descriptive; (5) multivariate; (6) nonparametric; and (7) t-test. The only major difference with the Goodwin study is the increase in the use of qualitative methods in AERJ over the last 10 years. Meta analysis was the...

The paradigm shift in the conduct and the contents of research reports in universities has continued to create challenges to many researchers. In recent times the gradual obligatory and academic demands to include theoretical and conceptual frameworks in every quantitative research reports have been described by many students as addition to research rigors. In some cases some supervisors may find it difficult to guide their students. However it may appear, the importance of theoretical and conceptual frameworks in quantitative research reports cannot be overlooked because research variables depend largely on existing theories and interrelated concepts. This paper therefore reviewed and suggested how theoretical and conceptual frameworks can be developed for quantitative research reports. The paper also made attempt to give clearer views on the conceptualization of theories, variables, models, constructs, and concepts, theoretical and conceptual frameworks. The components of theoretical and conceptual frameworks for quantitative research reports were presented, and attempts were made to show how the frameworks are applied in a research. It was therefore concluded that theoretical and conceptual frameworks are necessary and useful ingredients of a sound quantitative research report. Recommendations were made, one of which was that both frameworks should be used simultaneously in every quantitative research report.

Education Sciences, like most fields in social sciences, natural sciences, and physical sciences, has its own set of tools to investigate the important research questions of its field. Education Sciences is a relatively new field with methods and practices that are evolving at a rapid rate while remaining closely aligned to the well-established methods of the social sciences. With this textbook, we introduce students to the fundamental principles of what it is like to think like a researcher. In recent years, the research in Education has grown to include issues in K-12 schooling, higher education, formal and informal learning, educational policy, and educational leadership, just to name a few. Now more than ever, it is crucial to understand the impacts and challenges of education in a diverse and rapidly changing world. With every step of the way, the research process in Education is fraught with decisions, trade-offs, and uncertainty. It is not an easy route to traverse, but we hope this textbook will be a road map that can inspire the direction of research while not dictating absolute instructions. As the field grapples with its identity, we will use better tools, more transparent practices, and more open conversations to improve our understanding of human behavior, learning, and the social constructs of education. Research in Education Sciences is part of the Open Textbook movement to bring high quality, low cost textbooks to students. This textbook is available as a free eBook download or in paperback for the cost of printing.

The range of research literature potentially relevant to the work of a specialist institute for school leaders is enormous – even co-extensive with the corpus of educational research literature if the concerns of the leaders are broad enough. One way to achieve some focus, particularly in the early life of the College, would be to focus on research directly relevant to the role of the school in contributing to the achievement of its own goals and those of the larger system of which it is part.

In Part 4, we begin a more detailed discussion of some of the methodologies that educational researchers use. We concentrate here on quantitative research, with a separate chapter devoted to group-comparison experimental research, single-subject experimental research, correlational research, causal-comparative research, and survey research. In each chapter, we not only discuss the method in some detail, but we also provide examples of published studies in which the researchers used one of these methods. We conclude each chapter with an analysis of a particular study's strengths and weaknesses.

In the past few decades, educational practices have changed drastically, particularly regarding how information and learning are delivered and processed. Education research frequently employs quantitative methods. Quantitative education research provides numerical data that can prove or disprove a theory, and administrators can easily share the quantitative findings with other academics and districts. While the study may be based on relative sample size, educators and researchers can extrapolate the results from quantitative data to predict outcomes for larger student populations and groups. Educational research has a long history of utilising measurement and statistical methods. Commonly quantitative methods encompass a variety of statistical tests and instruments. Educators and students could transition to the digital era and research-based knowledge, including quantitative research in advanced higher education, as the technology has advanced. The quantitative research methods in education emphasise basic group designs for research and evaluation, analytic methods for exploring relationships between categorical and continuous measures, and statistical analysis procedures for group design data. The essential is to evaluate quantitative analysis and provide the research process, sampling techniques, the advantages and disadvantages of quantitative research in the article.

COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is designed for graduate students in the first year of their programs. It acknowledges the importance of excellence in research design, but is predicated on the assumption that problem definition should determine research design and choice of methodology or methodologies. Consistent with the diversity of researchable problems that can be identified in educational structures and processes, the course will survey research issues and methods in a manner intended to assist the student in selecting methods and research strategies for more intensive study.

2021, Case Study and Randomized Control Trial (RCT) Research Designs for Educational Leadership and Management Studies
It is becoming increasingly important for researchers to critically reflect on a set of research questions relevant to their own area of research that can have a positive impact on complex social phenomena, such as school leadership and management development outcomes of school leaders. This paper discusses about randomized control trial and case study enables the researcher to answer research questions within the effectiveness of leadership development of Cameroonian school leaders, in the real world, presents new challenges for collecting data and verifying inferences from these data. Many educational leadership researchers seem to have high hopes that such approaches using quasi-experimental, randomized control trails can give positive research outcomes when it comes to educational leadership development of school leaders. It is noted that case study research is more than simply to data collection, analysis, and report writing differing from the traditional, randomized control trial in terms of issues such as rigour, practicality, ethics, sampling, and validity are of great importance and perhaps of special relevance to researchers in Cameroon, and to the African context in which we work. This paper provides a further distinction between randomized control trial and case study research designs. This paper also presents a summary of the different research designs to conduct research in quantitative and qualitative and mixed methods studies.

Research students usually encounter great difficulties in setting up a viable research project mainly because, on the one hand they lack familiarity with the philosophical underpinnings of major paradigms used in educational research: quantitative, qualitative or mixed, and on the other hand , they do not associate the corresponding research types with these paradigms : experimental, non experimental for the former, and interactive or non interactive for the second and the for the latter whether it is explanatory or exploratory, in addition to the importance of triangulation in any research study . These paradigms determine not only the formulation of the problem chosen for research and the associated research questions or hypothesis but also and more importantly, the sampling procedure as well as the selection of the appropriate research tools and the way the collected data is analysed and discussed. This survey of the major paradigms in educational research and their implications for the design of any research study will hopefully provide them with the necessary guidance to approach their research project with more confidence et more efficiency.

Principles of Research in Education is written principally but not exclusively for Education students and lecturers. Both novices and specialists in education research, economics, sociology, psychology, management business and social research in general will find it very useful. The booklet is presented in a way that it will generate interest and motivate the learning of appropriate principles of research methods, particularly as it applies to education. The booklet is simply an attempt by the authors to help researchers and lecturers see the end of research from the beginning. It has been written with particular consideration for those who may undertake research in the context of limited library resources or interaction with other researchers, as is commonly the case in Africa. It is designed to be used as an introductory text and as a focused guide for students who are beginning to develop and conceptualize their topics, proposal and final research reports, while supervisor of research will also find some hints useful in the booklet about how best to assess their students’ research work. It is the hope of the authors that the handbook will form a necessary and useful tool for students (and other researchers) working on their research projects for the first time and those that needed to update their knowledge about research methods. It would not be out of place for the authors to express their sincere thanks to all those who have been instrumental, openly or covertly, in the realization of this handbook. There are friends and colleagues, without whose varied nature of support, this guide would not have been written. We are particularly indebted to Mrs. Titilayo Soji –Oni, Dr. TPL A. A. Udida, Dr. Blessing Adeoye, Prof. Joel Babalola, and all our past and present students at the Faculty of Education University of Lagos and University of Calabar, for their useful guidance and support. And there are many more others to whom we are heavily indebted for their encouragement and useful advice.

Introduction Since the beginning of the formalized education, research has been used to improve education and to determine in a wide range of situations. Through various research methods, teachers hope to obtain reliable and accurate information about important issue and problems that face the educational community. Knowledge of research is an essential as well as integral component of professional preparation for attaining skills and competence for all teachers. A must be knowledgeable about multifarious approaches of research to promote creative, innovative and sound solutions to learning and teaching issues. Weirsma and Jurs (2009) explain that research has become such a prevailing phenomenon of our civilization that all of us are influenced by it. He explains that the situation of an average elementary or high school teacher is not different than a graduate who face the issues in learning. Therefore, is carried out for the purpose of explaining and predicting phenomenon and part...

This study examined master’s degree level research course offerings of 72 university educational leadership programs to examine the relevance of course content to the research skills required of practicing school leaders. Researchers analyzed course titles and descriptions using a classic content analysis approach and the method of constant comparison. The number of research courses required by each program was analyzed descriptively. Findings revealed considerable variation in research course requirements, course titles, and course descriptions between university programs, suggesting a potential lack of consensus on the importance of research skills to school leadership as well as on how these skills typically are identified and described. Analysis of course descriptions indicated minimal emphasis on inquiry skills focused on actual school improvement and program evaluation. This research points to the need for further studies on research course offerings and the inquiry skills nee...

Differences qualitative and quantitative research to academicians and researchers mainly concentrated on education studies is only able to browse and identify with the fundamental difference merely as example: research that only uses quantitative data but using the qualitative as a benchmark often not considered as a quantitative research Likewise , qualitative research that uses quantitative data is not considered qualitative research. If traced further, actually qualitative and quantitative research very spacious and is a level. Qualitative and quantitative research in the context of methodology includes a researcher's conception of social reality, the researcher's self placement in relation to the reality study and various other reviews. Therefore, in this research article,is stated that the correlation between qualitative and quantitative research in educational research methodology is possible if both are based on the same paradigm. Conversely qualitative and quantit...

This chapter presents a practical model for the establishment and activation of school leader research. In effect it scaffolds a culture of inquiry in a school through a focus on the school leader. As Chapter 1 outlined, the school leader has a key role to establish and promote the required conditions for quality teaching and learning and in this book’s context, the important associated culture of inquiry.

Master’s degree research course offerings of 72 university education leadership programs were examined to explore how relevant the courses were to the inquiry needs of practicing school leaders. Research course titles and descriptions were analyzed using content analysis. Findings revealed considerable variation in research course requirements, course titles, and course descriptions. Analysis of course descriptions indicated minimal emphasis on the research skills required for school improvement. Results also suggested a lack of consensus on the importance of developing research skills for school leaders across university education leadership programs. Implications for education leadership preparation programs are discussed with an emphasis on the need for further studies on the research skills required by practicing school leaders.

2021, Three Culturally Sensitive Research Methods for Educational Administration and Leadership Research
The social, political, economic and cultural contexts of today's educational systems and schools are diverse in ways that require greater attention to equity, diversity, social inclusion, ethics and perspectives of school leaders and learners. In some developing countries like Cameroon in Central Africa where education leaders are not trained for leadership role. It's the duty of the educational system willing to encourage research to meet the unique needs of educators and students who represent underserved corruption, tribalism, nepotism, and cultural groups experiencing marginalization. These matters move beyond the personal and become professional, as they are further complicated by high-stakes accountability standards and the prioritization of "closing the achievement gap" in schools and the different educational systems. As such, this paper offers multicultural research considerations of three contrasting research methods used in educational leadership and administration research seeking to explore the views of school leaders in Cameroon in relation to effective school leadership preparation and management development in preparing aspiring heads for successful school leadership. This paper aims to find out, how closeend Leadership and Management Development Questionnaire (LMDQ), field document and standardized open-ended interviews methods are suited procedures, strategies, processes or techniques for collecting and analysing data in order to create better understanding of Leadership and Administration Development Research. The author presents a rationale and theoretical framework for the use of these three contrasting research methods often used together in a qualitative mixed method studies investigating educational method of assessing school leadership and management development models. While LMDQ can provide evidence of patterns amongst large populations, qualitative field document analysis and standardized open-ended interview research methods often gather more in-depth insights on participant attitudes, thoughts, and actions. The findings of this qualitative mixed method studies generate confirmatory results despite differences in methods of data collection, analysis, and interpretation.

needs able leadership in order to avoid the chance of waste of human resource. If a leader is expert, experienced and committed, he is expected to yield maximum outcomes with minimum resource. It has been noticed that a school or a college ranks high at a time and fails to maintain the level some other time. The reasons attributed to such quality changes can lead to nothing but the type of leadership of the particular institution. The leadership can't perform better without an active and professional support of the entire group of the people working for that organisation. Mustering support of most of the concerned personnel is also based on the effective style of the leadership. The concerned leader can reinforce the employees both positively and negatively, however the target remains the same: the ultimate development of the people and the organisation.
