Quantitative methods in education
In the field of quantitative methods
in education (QME), students learn to develop tests and surveys used to
collect data in educational settings, analyze these data with statistical
procedures, and evaluate educational programs.
The goal of the QME emphasis is to provide students with broad but
rigorous methodological skills so they may conduct research on
methodologies, train others in methodology, and have
the skills necessary to conduct research in related fields.
Program highlights
Interdisciplinary study:
Students in educational psychology work closely with
other University departments such as the
Department of Psychology,
the Institute of
Child Development, and the
Department of
Curriculum and Instruction.
National recognition:
The Department of Educational Psychology was ranked 8th in 2007 by
U.S. News &
World Report. The department was also awarded the 2007 APA Innovative
Practices in Graduate Education in Psychology Award for preparing
doctoral students for academic positions which include teaching
statistics.
Specialization options: Students who choose QME as
their main program of study may specialize in any of four areas:
evaluation, measurement, statistics, and statistics education.
