Education research is usually disseminated through journal articles, especially
for current studies and findings in educational & developmental psychology.
Start with any of the following databases:
When you search ERIC, you may find citations for ERIC documents. ERIC Documents include
a wide variety of resources such as teaching guides, conference papers, research reports, bibliographies,
opinion papers, instructional materials, and test and evaluation instruments. More than 107,000 full-text
non-journal documents (issued 1993-2004), previously available through fee-based services only, are now
available for free.
Books may also be used in a literature review on education, especially when researching
the history of education, assessment tools or methods of instruction.
