AVENUES FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF RESEARCH.

The article focuses on the approach for the improvement of educational research. The three essentials of research such as knowledge organization, observation and experiment, and theory formulation, from which a good research must be based, constitute a void and formidable roadblock preventing the free flow of good research. All three essentials are generally necessary to the production of good research. In science education, it is imperative that the researcher have grasp of the organized knowledge in some scientific area such as physics and chemistry in which the author proposes to research. The avenues for the improvement of research is the preparation of research workers in science education who are well grounded in their academic fields, know the academic areas related to and important to education, know the psychology of learning, and are sophisticated in the application of research and statistical methods to problems in educational fields.
