Abstract

The Triple "O" model in educational research, meaning the Objectives, Operations, and Outcomes model, is a plan to dive into how research works. Objectives are the reasons for this research, directing what researchers aim to explore. Operations focus on transforming these reasons into actual steps; they navigate the methods for gathering information. As for the Outcomes, they represent significant shifts resulting from the research, such as improved methods of teaching or students achieving their educational targets with better learning outcomes. Using the Triple "O" model, researchers are expected to explore educational research and studies significantly and effectively. This model provides a clear plan on how to conduct research and pay attention to the results. It is ready to change the whole scene of educational research and make good, important differences in learning.

Keywords: educational research; evidence based practice; medical education; quest; research framerwork; triple o model.
