Quantitative methodology has developed greatly in the past 30 years, and today is methodological competence in advanced statistical methods a prerequisite for successfully addressing many educational issues.
During the same past 30 years, a large portion of educational researchers have chosen to turn their back to this development in favor of qualitative methods. In Sweden, quantitative methodological knowledge has disappeared in many educational institutions. QRM wants to contribute to the rebuilding of this competence, through a research school and a research network.
