Research Approaches and Methodologies to Investigate Online Laboratory Instruction in the Time of COVID-19

This paper addresses online laboratories instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic from a research methodology perspective. In this sense, its purpose is to systematize and describe research approaches and methodologies to investigate about online laboratories instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic through the analysis of an intentional sample of productions on the topic previous to this book. From a summary of the findings, conclusions and recommendations are posed to expand possible methodological strategies, whether used or not in the selected bibliography. Through this objective, this chapter aims to offer a varied and complete ‘menu’ of research approaches and methodologies to investigate the use of online laboratories in complex contexts such as the COVID-19 pandemic, although also useful for post-pandemic times.
