Course guide for Dr. Sorto's MATH 7346: Quantitative Research Analysis Class

Open Data

The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) is committed to advancing education research through providing access to scientific data collected through its grant-funded research programs. Such access provides opportunities for other researchers to review, confirm or challenge study findings, which is an important aspect of the scientific process. In addition, providing access to data can enhance scientific inquiry through a variety of other analytic activities, including the use of shared data to: test alternative theories or hypotheses; explore different sets of research questions than those targeted by the original researchers; combine data from multiple sources to provide potential new insights and areas of inquiry; and/or conduct methodological studies to advance education research methods and statistical analyses.

Tips for your assignments

Open Data sources mix field surveys and questionnaire research, so when looking for questionnaire survey tools include the term "questionnaire" in your search strategy.
