Реферат Manual for doing an educational research





significant research problem. It is recommended to spend some time for searching for a problem one would like to study. It is very rare that the idea of ​​the research just comes by itself; usually a lot of reading is done before.

First is a directional one and here a research will show the connection between two facts (for example, the usage of painting in chemistry and physics improves students knowledge), the second one is null hypothesis, when a researcher states that there is no connection between two factors (for example, the idea of ​​using painting at chemistry and physics classes does not improve students outcome).
