The Extent of Variation of the Educational Research Skills of the Master's Students in the Faculties of Educational Sciences in Jordanian Universities due to the Variation in the Master's Program Track

Abstract

The study aimed at identifying the extent of the variation of
the educational research skills of the Masters students in the faculties
of educational sciences in Jordanian universities due to variation of
the Masters program track (thesis, comprehensive the exam). An
Achievement test was developed for the purpose of the study. Data
were collected from a sample of (74) Masters students in two
universities. The results revealed a significant mean difference
(t(72, 0.05) = 7.035). However, ANCOVA indicated the same results
after adjusting the scores through controlling the “undergraduate
major” variable. It is revealed that (45 %) of the variance in the
educational research skills was attributed to the program track.
