Educational Psychology aims at understanding how people learn. One of the ways to
understand how people learn is to evaluate their learning, thinking and behaviour. Two
school teachers (Teacher A and Teacher B) used two different methodologies to conduct
research involving Grade 5 learners.
Teacher A
Teacher A conducted a study involving 200 respondents, using a research instrument with
a scale to measure students’ behaviours. Table 1 is the scale the teacher used to collect
data; and Table 2 shows how data were analysed.
Teacher B:
Teacher B conducted a study to explore views of 5 participants on learner behaviours. The
teacher selected information-rich students to participate in the study. These are the
examples of questions that the teacher asked:
1. How do other learners behave when the teacher is not in the classroom?
2. What else do they do?
Critically describe the type of research conducted by each one of the teachers and give
justification for the choices they made. Use the following research elements as headings
for your answers: Research approach, Research methods, instruments, sampling
