The importance of scientific research in the educational sciences is supported by the pace of change in society. The objectives of this research are radiography, knowledge, understanding and interpreting specific processes and phenomena in the field of education. To achieve its goals, research must comply with certain standards and principles of scientific quality. This paper presents a software application useful in the design, deployment and exploitation of scientific researches. The objective of the system development has been the acquisition and/or enhancement of skills of the students from Bachelor and Master in Education Sciences in the design, organization, development and exploitation of scientific research. The software system consists of four modules: the first one provides the base structure of the research designs; the second module manages questionnaires and their validation (testing the distribution of item answers and the questionnaire fidelity); the third one deals with statistical processing (by applying many statistical computations and tests) and interpretation of data; the last module provides the base structure of a scientific paper that contains the results obtained in the course of scientific research. The system provides RTF and Microsoft Word documents which are opened at the request of the user to see the current structure of the research project. In addition, the system displays several charts (histograms and pies) of the data. The software system has been tested by the students and professors of the Psychology and Educational Sciences faculty. We claim that this system is an original software tool useful to teachers in the design and development process of quality education. | Keywords
