The purpose for conducting research is to investigate and solve a problem or answer a question. The first thing you must do to begin preparing an educational research proposal is to identify a problem or question of interest to you and are researchable. In this unit you should think about a problem or issue from your profession that is of interest to you and that you might like to investigate. The process of quantitative educational research is virtually the same as the Scientific Method you all learned in elementary school.
