Keywords for Educational Research
One
of the first steps in creating a research plan is to select “key words” which
best describe the topic you plan to research. If you are unfamiliar with the
terminology of your assigned topic you may wish to refer to sources such as
textbooks, dictionaries, and other reference materials in the field of study.
Use
the following terms individually or in combination with one another:
psychology
development
social, physical, emotional, educational
education and psychology (combine terms using and)
"student-centered learning" (enclose phrases in quotation marks) OR
"student centered learning"
teach* and "at-risk students " OR "students at risk"
(truncate to search for all forms: teaching, teachers, etc)(use or to get all
possible versions of the term)
diversity
"cognitive style"
"learning modalities"
"learning strategies"
"learning motivation"
"thinking skills"
"classroom techniques"
"learning styles "
culture
gender
"multiple intelligenc*"
elementary or primary
middle school
junior high
high school
secondary
students
children
adolescents
teen* (truncate to get all forms: teen, teens, teenagers, teenaged, etc.)
A good way to find articles based on qualitative research is to
combine terms with the word qualitative - quite often, the abstract will
indicate the type of research used. Also try case study, interview,
observation, and other specific qualitative methods.

Tips
1.
Use synonyms if your original search produces no results. A thesaurus can be
helpful, if the database is equipped with one.
2.
Pay attention to search tips or help screens provided by each database.
3. Most
databases allow for Boolean Searching. Use and
to narrow, or to expand, not to exclude. Truncation is also
useful for bringing back all relevant results. For example, type counsel*
to bring back documents containing the words counsel, counseling, counselor,
etc.
4.
