Course Content / Plan | | In the first semester, M1 students will learn how to search and collect academic literature related to educational development and then read the basic literature on international educational development and cooperation. Students will choose a specific topic based on their research interests and prepare a paper on previous literature review work. Peer review work sessions will be applied among the students to review the literature review paper. Students will deepen their understanding of the topic through the interactive group discussion on their selected topics.
Academic research has an objective to clarify, and it is necessary to take an appropriate approach to pursue the question to clarify the research objective. Therefore, students will be expected to learn various research methods for each research objective. Examples of a quantitative method, a qualitative method, and a mixed method are demonstrated in the class. Students will choose a research method based on understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each analysis. At the end of the first semester, M1 students are required to prepare a research proposal and submit it as an output of the course.
This seminar covers the following general topics on research:
- Introduction to academic research and writing skills (purposes, types, and general features)
- Literature review: using libraries and online resources and building your reference database
- Research approaches and collection of data
- Discovering a research problem (brainstorming, finding a research theme)
- Developing a research outline (how to set a research topic and research questions)
- References and plagiarism
- Research ethics
- Preparation of research proposal
- The structure and outline of a research paper
- Research methods (quantitative research, qualitative research, and mixed methods)
- Writing an essay (body section—research methods and visual representation)
- Writing an essay (discussion and conclusion, a title and summary)
In the second semester, students are expected to present their research and study plan. Students will regularly report the progress of their master's thesis research projects and receive feedback and guidance from the instructor. Along with each research project, students will work on reading materials and writing comment papers every week to acquire basic knowledge, history, and the current trend in the field of international educational development. Students are expected to discuss the topics based on the reading materials proactively. |
