The current technological society is rethinking educational research, both for the content of study as new search tools, organization, information gathering, data analysis, dissemination and publication of research results. Communication networks open up new ways to address the research and tools make it easy to organize and present information with a hypermedia nature. This article describes and assesses the main ICT resources to support research. The educational researcher faces a new challenge: to consolidate and develop ICT-based research to

The main purpose of the article consists of analyzing the role of networks through studies and cases, where technologies have demonstrated to be an important tool as a way to enhance educational research. It is discussed that when people work collaboratively to achieve a goal, it is possible to foster individuals strengths, accomplish the research proposed objectives and transfer goals to other directions. The analysis was mainly focused on technology based networks in Latin-American countries. We discuss the effectiveness of networks for knowledge

The effects the new technologies have had on current educational measurement are reviewed. They relate to most of the tasks involved in an educational measurement process. The specific topics considered are: innovative items, performance assessment, automatic test assembly, automatic item generation and different types of computerized adaptive testing. Technology has also changed the psychometric analysis of item and test data, as there are now available computer programs for most psychometric tasks, as item calibration, differential item and test

In this paper expose the characteristics that owe to have an on-line questionnaire, and the advantages in front of the questionnaires in paper, likewise gives some councils of how improve the tax of answers. The archive of data that generates there is exposes like treating it to be able to analysis the data with a program of statistical analysis, and particular with the SPSS. It does a brief description of how can build a questionnaire with the program LimeSurvey and as it can export the data for his statistical treatment. Besides, it gives indications

This article shows an overview of the digital resources that can be applied to qualitative research. It analyzes the impact produced by the incorporation of information technologie sand communication technologies (ICT) on the field of social science research. Specifically, this analysis is focused on developing qualitative studies in educational research and methodological changes that the introduction of ICT has led. It shows the impact that this relationship has on improving the scientific quality of research results. After a brief presentation

This paper presents an overview about the ICT applications in evaluation research. There isnt a balance of uses, or an analysis of its current impact, but rather seeks to make some remarks to serve as prospective. To this end, we analyze the use of ICT for different purposes: people assessment (students, teachers and other education stakeholders), program assessment and educational institutions and systems assessment. The conceptual position presented focuses on assessing the impact of ICT in research evaluation. We understand that the development

The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of the information and communication technologies on the educational research, and more specifically on the categorical data analysis. From this point of view, the main features of several statistical techniques for categorical data are described: Configural Frequency Analysis (CFA), 3-way Contingency Tables, Log-linear Models, Logit and Probit Models and Logistic Regression, Correspondence Analysis, Categorical Cluster Analysis and Categorical Data Visualization. In all the cases, the software is described

Educational research has advanced theoretical approaches by defining and designing integrated models oriented up to the study of relationships between constructs not directly observable embedded in complex contexts. In parallel, data analysis software has allowed testing these complex models in reasonable computing environments in terms of time and effort. This techno-scientific revolution in the developed software for quantitative data analysis has transformed scientific practice in educational research. In this paper is assumed the growing trend
