Course Information

Course Number

HCI Undergraduate: n/a

Course Description

The goals of this course are to learn data collection, design, and analysis methodologies that are particularly useful for scientific research in education. The course will be organized in modules addressing particular topics including cognitive task analysis, qualitative methods, protocol and discourse analysis, survey design, psychometrics, educational data mining, and experimental design. We hope students will learn how to apply these methods to their own research programs, evaluate the quality of application of these methods, and effectively communicate about using these methods.
