Educational research is research conducted to investigate behavioral patterns in pupils, students, teachers and other participants in schools and other educational institutions. Such research is often conducted by examining work products such as documents and standardized test results.

The methods of educational research are derived chiefly from the social sciences, and in particular from psychology.
