There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Surveys

16.4K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Cross-Sectional Research

12.1K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Archival Research

16.9K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Observational Studies

10.5K
Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Environmental Science Education

Background:

  • Inquiry-based learning is crucial for science education.
  • Effective science education requires students to formulate questions and present findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe two methods for implementing remote, independent undergraduate research.
  • To share case studies from ecology and environmental science courses.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of independent research projects in spring 2020.
  • Case studies from intermediate ecology and interdisciplinary environmental science courses.
  • Analysis of challenges, opportunities, tools, and student perceptions.

Main Results:

  • Identified challenges and novel opportunities in remote undergraduate research.
  • Documented implementation details, tools, and resources for online research projects.
  • Gathered student perceptions on the effectiveness of remote research experiences.

Conclusions:

  • Remote independent research can be effectively integrated into undergraduate curricula.
  • Strategies for online research experiences are valuable for the COVID-19 era and beyond.
  • Fostering discussion on meaningful research in online learning environments is essential.
