Is the thesis of Master of Education a basic research or an applied research?
Papers for education majors can be basic research or applied research. It depends on the training objectives and requirements of this major. Education majors generally focus on cultivating students' practical ability and professional quality. Therefore, thesis research is often closely related to practical education, emphasizing application and practicality. This means that some educational papers may be more inclined to applied research, that is, to analyze real educational problems and explore and practice solutions. However, it does not exclude papers with basic research in education. Some specialized courses in pedagogy may require students to conduct theoretical research, literature review or empirical research in order to promote knowledge progress and theoretical exploration in the field of education. This kind of paper pays more attention to the in-depth research and analysis of educational theory, policy or practice.
