Over the past 30 years, advanced quantitative methods have become increasingly important for addressing complex questions in educational research. At the same time, quantitative methodological expertise has declined within many educational research environments in Sweden. QRM aims to strengthen and rebuild this competence.

Purpose

The main purpose of the QRM is to contribute to the building of the competence within the field of quantitative methods for research within the educational sciences. QRM therefore offers:

  • Research courses in the areas of design, measurement and analysis of quantitative data from both large and small studies within the field of educational sciences
  •  An annual conference
  •  Membership in QRM's network
  •  Some consultancy / expert tutoring for participants of the course

Target group

Researchers who are

  1. Doctoral students, licentiate students, and students admitted to postgraduate studies
  2. Senior lecturers with a Phd-degree, post-docs, researchers and supervisors

Participants from various disciplines with an interest in educational research issues are welcome!
