METHODOLOGY OF PEDAGOGICAL RESEARCH

Abstract

Pedagogical research is understood as the process of scientific activity and its results to obtain new knowledge about the regularities, principles, structure, content, technology, etc. of education, training and upbringing. Pedagogical research explains and analyzes facts and phenomena, makes generalizations, draws conclusions, prepares recommendations, and predicts facts and phenomena. Pedagogical research is of a fundamental, applied, and operational nature according to its direction. As a result of fundamental research, generalized concepts are developed. These concepts summarize the theoretical and practical achievements of pedagogy or develop a model of development of pedagogical systems on a prognostic basis. Applied research is carried out with the aim of studying in depth individual aspects of the pedagogical process, revealing the regularities of multilateral pedagogical practice. By studies, we mean substantiating specific scientific and practical recommendations taking into account known theoretical provisions. Any pedagogical research, including dissertation work, involves determining generally accepted methodological parameters. The main criteria for the quality of pedagogical research are its relevance, novelty, theoretical and practical significance.
