Foremost, educational research of this typevastly differs from the typical laboratory research we as graduate engineering students havebecome accustomed to. For example, when conducting educational research investigators mustunderstand that working in a K-12 environment requires a higher degree of flexibility, patience,and tolerance of unexpected chaos.
