Course Description

EdDELM 300 Quantitative Research Methods

This course covers methodologies that are generally anchored on a positivist
philosophy and hold that behaviors can be explained through objective facts gathered,
using theories/ models developed. Quantitative requires reduction of phenomena to
numerical values to carry statistical analysis. Design and instrumentation are
controlled to minimize bias and error. Quantitative research methods include
descriptive, correlational, ex post facto (or casual comparative), experimental, and
other deductive types. The appropriate statistical tools and techniques used in
quantitative research will also be treated in this course.
EdDELM 301 Qualitative Research Methods
This course deals on critical interpretive/inductive research methodologies that are
rooted on phenomenological paradigm which holds that reality is socially
constructed through individual or collective definitions of the situation Qualitative
research seeks to uncover meaning and understanding of the broad relationships
in the situation being researched. Unlike quantitative research which starts with a
priori propositions to verify theories, qualitative research starts with observing
what is obtaining or existing with a view to discovering and generating theory
(grounded theory). Methods used in qualitative research include: ethnographic
(participant observations, case study), phenomenological, naturalistic,
constructivist and interpretative methods. Some of the techniques used are
participant observation, case study and semantic analysis.
EdDELM 302 Seminar in Educational Philosophy and Sociology
The course deals with the discussion and analysis of various philosophical thoughts and
sociological theories with the end in view to improve the educational aims, objectives,
methodologies and practices for relevance, quality and effectiveness.

EdDELM 303 Seminar in Educational Psychology

This course deals on the concepts. Theories, and hypotheses of the science of
psychology with particular reference to their implementation in the school situation
or other educational environments. It should be able to provide insights into the
teaching-learning process and student behavior, as well as research data, theory, and
illustrations that are concerned with actual application of psychological principles. The
processing of theories and research will stress how the teacher or educational leader
may use the various ideas to better facilitate the learning processes among students.
