Abstract:
Research methodology courses can be the most difficult courses in master’s-level programs
representing the social, behavioral, and health sciences because, in these courses, students
typically are expected to learn to think critically and contextually about social and/or
academic problems in addition to learning new terminology and methodological concepts not
previously part of each specific discipline. Further, the challenges of online learning might
increase due to the nature of research methodology courses and the new concepts taught.
Thus, as students and instructors of an online research methodology course, we describe the
use of a scoring rubric as a performance assessment and provide our student research
proposal project as an exemplar of effectively developing research knowledge, skills, and
dispositions for use in future online learning of research methodologies.
