Quantitative methods in education
The college’s
Department of Educational Psychology offers opportunities to focus in
several different areas of specialized study, including 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.
This track offers educational opportunities in both
quantitative and qualitative methods with a broad array of
introductory and advanced coursework. Students who choose QME as
their main program of study may specialize in any of four areas:
evaluation, measurement, statistics, and statistics education.
The goal of the QME emphasis is to provide students with broad but
rigorous methodological skills so that they may conduct research on
methodologies, may help to train others in methodology, or will have
the skills necessary to conduct research in related fields.
