Part 1

Research Assignment Overview

For this class, you will choose a research topic and design a 3-5 question survey to study that topic. This project is designed to give you an idea of how to conduct educational research, how to interpret those results, and how those results can be used to affect teaching methods, curriculum, school policy, and educational law.

The core of your research project will be your research instrument, e.g. your survey. Surveys must collect data anonymously (i.e. they don’t ask for names or other information that can be used to identify someone) and be easily accessible such as through a web link.

The following survey tools are listed in your book. You may also choose to use your own tool such as GoogleDocs to create a survey and collect data. Explore the tools below and see which one you like the best. All will require you to create an account but have free access for trial accounts and individual/limited use.

• KwikSurveys (www.kwiksurveys.com)
• Murvey (www.murvey.com)
• Qualtrics (www.qualtrics.com)
• QuestionPro (www.questionpro.com)
• SurveyMonkey (www.surveymonkey.com)
• Zoho Survey (www.zoho.com/survey)
• Zoomerang (www.zoomerang.com)
