Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the research tendency of Korean Association for Educational Methodology by analyzing the research articles published in “Journal of Educational Methodology” which is the representative journal in the field of educational methodology in Korea and finally put through the advanced proposals for educational methodology. The total articles were 217 which have been published for the last over 10 years (2003-2013). We analyzed the articles based on two criteria: research domains, research methodologies. The results of this study were as follows: First in the part of research domains, the teaching methodology accounted for 71.4% (155 articles) of the 217 articles. The proportions of other domains were educational counseling (13.8%, 30 articles), educational evaluation (9.2%, 20), educational curriculum (2.8%, 6), and educational administration (2.8%, 6). In the teaching methodology domain, the study of learning guidance model accounted for 38.2% (83 articles). It shows that Korean educational methodology research has been mostly conducted on the teaching methodology, especially learning guidance model. Second, in the aspect of research methods, survey study accounted for 45.2% (98 articles) of the total 217 articles. The proportions of other research methods were as follows: literature study 14.3%, development research type I 11.5%, quasi-experiment study 10.6%, case study/qualitative study 7.8%, experiment study 6.9%, development research type II 3.2%, cost effectiveness study 0.5%, and others 0%. It is needed to be researched in the field of more qualitative study than quantitative one and also to expand the research domain and target learners in the future.
