UCSD students and faculty in Education Studies and others interested in education research methods are invited to attend a one day conference on research methods used in educational research on Saturday February 6th, 2010.

This conference is particularly geared towards students of Education Studies and others actively engaged in education and research and will focus on methods of inquiry in education research. We are interested in the multiple ways empirical methods are used to effectively answer substantive research questions and advance social theories. Presentations and discussions will highlight the connection between methodologies and substantive research questions.

The conference format consists of presentations by advanced graduate students in the education doctorate programs, round table discussions to further discuss methodological approaches to different kinds of educational research co-facilitated by an EDS faculty member and a graduate student presenter, and a lunch time keynote address by the Director of CREATE and Professor of Sociology,
Dr. Hugh "Bud" Mehan.
