Unit Description

The design and use of surveys is an important aspect of Education research, and vital in the way it informs curriculum decisions and evidence-based teaching methods.

In this unit you will gain knowledge about conceptualising, designing, conducting and evaluating survey research, thereby helping you build “survey literacy”. You will learn how to develop research questions/hypotheses, basic statistical modelling for hypothesis testing, and how to design a survey questionnaire that can produce essential data.

Ultimately you will be encouraged to consider using survey research to problematise, inform, or improve contemporary educational practice.
