The Center for Applied Research and Design in Transformative Education (CARADITE) provides comprehensive support for Duke faculty and researchers conducting teaching and learning research that involves Duke students and/or instructors.
This research typically includes standard educational practices and most frequently occurs in a classroom, lab, or other formal learning environment. Instructors often collect and analyze data from their (or a colleague’s) course – such as student assignments, participatory activities, assessments, and other learning artifacts – to address research questions about instructional practices and student learning.
As a member of the Duke research community, CARADITE can assist your teaching and learning research through consultations with our team.
Consultations
CARADITE will consult with Duke faculty at any stage of your research process. Ready to connect with us? Please contact CARADITE.
When conducting teaching and learning research, you should carefully consider: The research question(s) you would like to explore; appropriate methodologies for your study, including plans for data collection and analysis; student consent and participation; how your study will impact students and their learning; and how you intend to share insights with stakeholders.
During consultations, CARADITE staff can discuss:
- Other study-specific topics and questions
- General research inquiries
- Study design
- Research questions
- Methodological approaches
- IRB protocols
- Surveys and other research instruments
- Participant consent
- Data collection, data management, and analysis
