What is an agenda?
What is a research agenda? It’s a plan and a focus on issues and ideas in a subset of your
field. You cannot study everything in your field during your time in
graduate school, so decide what to focus on now, and what to defer until another day.
There will always be a gap.
Research agendas are not set in concrete; they naturally change over time as your knowledge grows and
as new research questions emerge.

Developing a Research Agenda
An agenda is a list of things to be done.
A research agenda is a concentrated and long-term plan for investigations to be conducted about a phenomenon or theory that cannot be easily understood by one study or short-lived investigations.

“”The best current evidence is that media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck that delivers our groceries causes changes in our nutrition.”

Learning Theories for Instructional Technology
There are three primary theoretical schools or philosophies attached to my root agenda in educational technology.
1. Behaviorism
2. Cognitivism
3. Constructivism
4. Connectivism

Diffusion Theory
Diffusion/Adoption/Integration Theory There is not a unified theory of diffusion The study of innovation diffusion is a fairly recent field.
Everett Rogers (1995) points out that a 1943 study by Ryan and Gross at Iowa State University provided the genesis of modern or innovations diffusion research.

Diffusions theory is often described in terms of a metaphor using a “mosaic”
a picture or pattern produced by arranging together small colored pieces of hard material, such as stone, tile, or glass.

Ryan and Gross
The Ryan and Gross (1943) study at Iowa State University, from the field of rural sociology, used interviews with adopters of an innovation to examine a number of factors related to adoption.
![Page 33: Journal of Tourism and Hospitality - Joyce Pittman - Sharing a Research Agenda](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033102/56813316550346895d99d7eb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Concept 4 - Agenda Development
The interview-based or qualitative methodology used in the Ryan and Gross study remains the predominant diffusion research methodology ever since (Rogers, 1995).
![Page 34: Journal of Tourism and Hospitality - Joyce Pittman - Sharing a Research Agenda](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033102/56813316550346895d99d7eb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Fundamental Methodological Change
In recent years, mixed methods has emerged as an emerging and compelling multiperspective methodology usually placing a balance of emphasis on both qualitative
and methods

History
Researchers from rural sociology (e.g., Fliegel and Kivlin, 1962) and other disciplines (e.g., Weinstein, 1986) have built on the Ryan and Gross' work to conduct studies and develop theories related to the diffusion of innovations

How are theory bases used to support or drive my agenda
A theory is a set of propositions that suggests why events occur in the manner that they do.
![Page 41: Journal of Tourism and Hospitality - Joyce Pittman - Sharing a Research Agenda](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033102/56813316550346895d99d7eb/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Theories?
Provide patterns for interpreting data
Link one situation with others
Supply a framework within which concepts and variables have significance
Permit the interpretation of the larger meaning of situations

"Finally, the most fundamental and most important characteristic of a profession or research agenda is that the skills involved are founded upon a body of intellectual theory and research. Furthermore, this systematic theory is constantly being expanded by research."

Fundamental Belief:Equivalency Theory of Distance/Virtual Education
"The more equivalent the learning experiences of the distant/virtual learner are to the learning experiences of the traditional learner, the more equivalent are the learning outcomes."
