Abstract

This chapter examines issues surrounding the design of research in educational technology and teacher knowledge. The National Research Council proposed a set of principles for education research that has not been applied consistently to teacher knowledge and education technology research. Although some studies address reliability of measures, few adequately address validity or threats to validity or the trustworthiness of their designs or findings. Special attention is given to the need for explicit connections between the study purpose and guiding theoretical frameworks and previous research. This volume provides examples of studies addressed these design issues and includes a checklist of questions and additional resources to aid future researchers in developing rigorous, scientific research.
