Educational research methods mind maps

These maps organize research ideas into connected branches. They cover action research, classroom observation, research questions, and data collection. Some also set out plans for individual studies, including a qualitative case study on intercultural awareness in an English class.

Using the maps

Start with Collaborative Inquiry Mindmap for a view of inquiry as a group problem-solving process. Its branches include framing a problem, collecting evidence, and analyzing evidence. Then look at CUR 535 Data Collection Techniques to explore qualitative and quantitative techniques, including attitude scales and triangulation.

Follow the branches of a map, then try to explain how its ideas connect without looking. Compare that structure with Classroom Observation & Teacher Reflection if you want to focus on a classroom context. When you want to check terms or test your understanding, switch to flashcards or a quiz on the unit page. Pick a map and trace its ideas from the center outward.
