In the past two decades, the development of higher education worldwide has focused on the teaching quality of college courses. The author contemplated on the educational research methods course provided and discovered that some learners did not exhibit satisfactory learning outcomes and lacked educational research literacy. Although educational research methods are an essential course in the education field, few empirical studies on educational research methods have been conducted in Taiwan. The present study aimed to ameliorate learners' difficulties in learning educational research methods, improve their learning outcomes, and enhance their educational research literacy. An action research method was adopted, and a mixed-method strategy was employed for data collection and analysis. The results revealed that when the educational research methods course centered on educational research literacy, the learning outcomes and attitude were enhanced. However, because the course duration is limited, a balance between teaching and learning could not be attained. The research results can serve as a basis for designing a future study on teaching practices and provide a reference for future researchers or educators to design and apply an educational research methods course. |
