A doctoral course in research methods in computing education research. How should we teach it?

Berglund, A., Kinnunen, P. and Malmi, L.

    This discussion paper considers how research methods could be taught in a doctoral computing education research course. We consider the challenges to course planning entailed by the nature of CER as a field, as well as the diversity of the students' backgrounds and its consequences for the course. We describe the research methods course that was given in spring 2007 at Helsinki University of the Technology, and some lessons learned from that course. Finally, we set some questions to stimulate a discussion.
