- Performing problem-analysis, making a research plan, designing a lesson, developing an instructional material or tool, performing formative evaluation before a lesson, conducting a trial lesson, analizing its effect, writing a paper, performing a presentation, and reviewing these activities.
- Building on gaming instructional materials developed in "Exercise of Designing Gaming Instructional Materials" and "Educational Media and Design A & B", students will learn about the methodology of practical research on educational technology through the process of actually evaluating developed instructional materials and writing research paper.
Students are required to achieve following objectives:
- Master the methods of practical researches on education, analysis of educational effects, and writing academic papers.
- This course focuses on the devices to emphasize the value of the research, such as clarifying originality and heightening general-purpose properties.
Practical research in education, lesson study, learning science, qualitative approach, lesson Assessment, learning effect, e-portfolio, research ethics
