Description

The problem of this study was to determine the degree and level of research activity in the College of Education at North Texas State University through an examination of the doctoral dissertations produced by its graduates.
The study had three basic purposes. One purpose was to analyze the dissertations in terms of types of study, focus of each study, subject headings of each study, design characteristics, statistical treatment of data, general results of experimental studies and data collection techniques. The second purpose was to synthesize the data of the present study with that obtained by Novak in her study, in order to provide an overall description of the characteristics of dissertation research in the College of Education from 1953 through 1986. The third purpose was to examine the research activity taking place in the College of Education in terms of the quality of dissertations produced by its graduates.
Seven hundred and ninety-five dissertations were the sources of data for this study. The format developed and validated by Novak in her study of dissertation research from 1953 through 1974 was used in the analysis of the dissertations completed from 1975 through 1986.
Based on the findings of this study, the following conclusions were drawn.
The format developed by Novak in 1975 can be used to analyze dissertations completed during the years from 1975 through 1986.
The degree and level of research activity in the College of Education can be assessed through an analysis of the dissertations produced by its graduates.
Doctoral candidates are using statistical methods and computers to analyze and manipulate data more often.
There is an indication that doctoral candidates are beginning to use a wider variety of data-gathering techniques.
Four recommendations are drawn from the study.
