Shelby Gilbert, the professor of several different education classes at FGCU, explains that depending on which education course you enroll in the research will differ. Her definition of "typical research" on the topic of education includes reading about current events, writing book reviews, searching journal articles, ect. Topics in which she feels that education majors should research for future reference are current education issues, learning theories, behavioral and psychological theories, instructional theories, and content-specific topics. She also says that when writing research papers, education majors are required to use the APA style because it is the "required style of the discipline."
Professor Gilbert requires her students to complete an issue analysis paper in the Introduction to Education class, but depending on what education class you take it can differ. When I asked about the analysis paper she explained, "I have asked students to research a current or controversial issue in education, choose a position to promote, then use findings from their research to support their positions."
