The online meeting for MPPU 1024 (Section 02) this week combined two topics which include qualitative data collection and analysis.

The first topic of discussion

Since the topics were combined, they might be a bit overwhelming for some students. Hence, students were asked to post their questions on e-learning forum for any clarification on the topics.

MPPU 1024 Research Method in Education: Webex session #1

I conducted a Webex session yesterday for MPPU1024 Research Methods in Education (Section 02). I have 25 students enrolled in the course for this semester. I took over the course from Dr. Hadijah after she had covered all topics for the quantitative research methodology. Beginning this week, I’ll be facilitating students with the qualitative approach in conducting educational research.

Revisiting educational research. It’s essential for students to have an overview of research in education.

For the first session, it was a relief to find that most students were able to access Webex. The were technical hiccups here and there but alhamdulillah, possible to be rectified once you get the hang of Webex’s tools. The meeting was scheduled on 4:15pm, following the original face-to-face classroom timetable.

During the meeting I focused on the topic “An Overview of Educational Research”. The sub-topics included:

  1. Differences between quantitative and qualitative approaches in educational research.
  2. Research paradigms in social sciences.
  3. Philosophical underpinnings of qualitative research in social sciences.

One of the sub-topics discussed during the meeting was the philosophical underpinnings of social sciences research.
