What is Research Self-Efficacy

This chapter presents a new approach to teaching research methodology courses in doctoral programs by incorporating a flipped classroom structure and a research-practice partnership within a larger guided project-based learning framework as a means of developing students' research self-efficacy. The theoretical underpinnings for each component are described along with a summary of relevant literature. The chapter discusses the development and implementation of this pedagogical technique in a graduate statistics course in a practitioner-oriented educational leadership doctoral program. The chapter concludes with reflections on the strengths and challenges of this approach from students and the course instructor and how this technique builds students' research self-efficacy.
