Education Sciences, like most fields in social sciences, natural sciences, and physical sciences, has its own set of tools to investigate the important research questions of its field. Education Sciences is a relatively new field with methods and practices that are evolving at a rapid rate while remaining closely aligned to the well-established methods of the social sciences. With this textbook, we introduce students to the fundamental principles of what it is like to think like a researcher. In recent years, the research in Education has grown to include issues in K-12 schooling, higher education, formal and informal learning, educational policy, and educational leadership, just to name a few. Now more than ever, it is crucial to understand the impacts and challenges of education in a diverse and rapidly changing world. With every step of the way, the research process in Education is fraught with decisions, trade-offs, and uncertainty. It is not an easy route to traverse, but we hope this textbook will be a road map that can inspire the direction of research while not dictating absolute instructions. As the field grapples with its identity, we will use better tools, more transparent practices, and more open conversations to improve our understanding of human behavior, learning, and the social constructs of education. Research in Education Sciences is part of the Open Textbook movement to bring high quality, low cost textbooks to students. This textbook is available as a free eBook download or in paperback for the cost of printing.
