Abstract
This work presents a study of student attitudes towards educational research in studies of degree. Student attitudes towards educational research have great importance for the academic development and professional practice. To study the student attitudes, a scale ATR-ED is adapted and assessed by expert educational researchers. This scale is based on an earlier questionnaire (Papanastasiou, 2005). A quasi-experimental pretestpostest design involving 26 students from studies of degree of the University of Granada, Spain is developed. The ATR-ED is applied to the beginning and the end of a university course on Information and Communication Technology. The course syllabus is constituted by activities about research articles and videos in order to improve knowledge and student attitudes towards educational research. The analysis and comparison of both ATR-ED data yield an improvement of the student attitudes. Likewise, audiovisual resources involved in the course have caused a positive effect in the student attitudes, along with the methodology used, have had a positive effect on the student attitudes. Future studies on video and flipped classroom are need.
