Abstract

At a time when numerical expression of data is becoming more important in the business of obtaining grant money research tools such as structural equation modelling (SEM) are becoming more popular. Structural equation modelling enables researchers to show relationships between variables numerically. It is of particular use to educational researchers who are interested in developing or using standard questionnaires in their research. This session will introduce SEM and explore its uses in educational research to enable the reader to decide whether it is a tool to use to add an extra dimension to their research findings.
