Overview

Objective• Capture contextual complexity• Learn from collective experience• Enhance educational design
![Page 4: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Aims• Move research beyond simple
observation & ‘one off’ case studies• Engineer situations to enhance and
understand learning• Combine rigor of experiment with
sensitivity of case study research

A rose by any other name!
• Evidence based research
• Design based research

Qualitative Case studies
Experimental studies
Evidence based research
![Page 8: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why
• ‘Tradition’ & ‘superstition’ relied on for too long
• Integrate research & practice
• Instructional science needs to progress and be transformed
![Page 9: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How• Integrate professional wisdom
with empirical evidence to inform instructional development decisions
![Page 10: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How
• Teaching methods are backed by quality data AND educational theory
![Page 11: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How
• Results reflect or advance theory AND demonstrate impact in context
![Page 12: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How• The functional relationship
between intervention & behavioral response is established & clearly defined
![Page 13: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
So what’s different?• A key aim is to identify, explore,
confirm & advance theoretical concepts
![Page 14: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
So what’s different?• Move beyond impact observation
to a fully ‘engineered’ approach • The researcher is a key player
![Page 15: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
So what’s different?• Instructional ‘engineering’ &
research are instrumental to learning outcomes
![Page 16: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
So what’s different?• Relevance of theory is proved by
ability to work in real world contexts
![Page 17: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A practical example• Learning theory underpins activities• Explicit strategies for students• Pilot new learning activities• Evaluate, reflect and refine before full
implementation• Conclusion - it works fine but doing it
takes energy, time and commitment
![Page 18: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Integrated approach
• Pre and post lecture self-assessment tests for mastery
• Animations for learning through visualization
• Online resources for review, reflection & integration of information
• Tutorials to address ‘sticky’ issues
![Page 19: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Engineering• Empower students with explicit
expectations • Set achievable milestones & help
them stay on task• Be available & in regular contact• Explain & integrate different
learning strategies
![Page 20: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Benefits to students• Increased confidence &
motivation through:– sustained communication– 24/7 access to resources and
activities– control over learning process via
feedback– coaching to make informed choices
![Page 21: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What next?• Further developments for other
levels• Longitudinal tracking of:
– improvement in academic performance
– retention of students– recruitment of mature students &
facilitation of life long learning
![Page 22: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Benefits of evidence based research
• Empower, engineer & evaluate• Improve, enhance & integrate• Understand & respond to
dynamics of situations• Build innovation on what is
already known to work
![Page 23: Evidence based research in education Cathy Gunn University of Auckland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e255503460f94b13c45/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Benefits (2)• Meet accepted professional
standards for research• Produce compelling evidence of
effectiveness• Respect contextual difference and
complexity• Build top quality learning
environments for students
