Module Reflection - Methods of Research and Enquiry (Doris Lin)

My learning experience in this module has let me experience a FOSS platform called “Blogger” and explore how to utilize that platform to design my blog and reflections what I have learnt. The most hand-on experiences also let me create multi-media mode materials such as Slide share, embed video from You Tube and Flash slideshow maker etc. That is a new media to communicate with peers and instructors. Besides, Daniel introduces most of educational research methods with particular critical reading and understands how to justify of research questions and formulation of an appropriate research design, including methods of data-gathering and data analysis, with specific reference to the major research problems.

Throughout experiential process of group blog, I understand variety of research approaches in education such as correlational research and experimental research and evaluate some of computer tools that can be used to facilitate research so that I become a critical readers of education research and able to take advantage of researching findings. I am hoping that I can broaden my research skill to develop my research proposal and this module boosts up me confidence to undertake dissertation in coming year.

Thanks Dr. Churchill helping me to develop my elementary research skill.
