What are the basic steps in the process of educational research?
There are seven steps in educational scientific research: selecting a topic, consulting materials, designing a research plan, collecting and sorting out materials, conducting research, writing a research report and submitting an application for concluding the topic.

Basic principles of educational scientific research:

1. The purpose of the study is to explore the laws of education and solve important educational theoretical and practical problems. The research of educational science is different from the cognitive activities of ordinary daily life. Whether it is exploratory research aimed at exploring or developing some principles, principles, methods and theories, or countermeasure research aimed at solving practical problems, the essence and objective law of educational phenomenon is the harmony between development and people, rather than a simple description of known situations and conclusions.

2. There must be research hypotheses and specific and clear statements on the research questions. As a scientific cognitive activity, educational research needs rational explanation and logical demonstration, specific and clear definition of research issues, and corresponding research objectives and indicators for testing.

3. The research methods should be scientific and reasonable. Research should have scientific design, accurate and systematic observation and analysis, and collect reliable data. The research results should be objective, logical and tested by practice.

General methods of educational scientific research;

1, observation method

A widely used method in educational science research. According to a certain purpose and plan, researchers systematically and continuously observe the research object under natural conditions, and make accurate, specific and detailed records, so as to comprehensively and correctly grasp the situation to be studied. The observation method is not limited to naked eye observation, but also audio-visual tools, such as tape recorders, video recorders, movie machines, etc.

2. Literary methods

By reading relevant books, materials and documents, we can fully and correctly grasp the situation to be studied. The documents to be consulted should be first-hand information. If it is a second-hand material, you must identify the authenticity before you can choose.

3. Investigation methods

Through personal contact and planned extensive understanding (including oral or written, direct or indirect), researchers can fully grasp the actual history, present situation and development trend of education, and analyze and synthesize it on the basis of a large number of first-hand materials to find scientific conclusions to guide future educational practice activities.

The investigation method is generally carried out in the natural process, and the materials reflecting the research phenomenon are collected through interviews, questionnaires, surveys and tests.
