About This Site

The material on this site was created for an introductory course on educational research. Each of the topics featured here is much more complex than presented here. The purpose of these pages is to introduce beginning researchers to the topics with the expectation that they will further develop their expertise with additional resources.

If you are interested in pursuing an online Master’s in Educational Psychology with an emphasis in Research Methods, Measurement, and Evaluation at UConn, you can find more information here.
