Conducting substantive research on current issues and needs in education requires high- integrity data.

The College of Education (COE) at Texas State University-San Marcos is among the largest University-based preparers of teachers in Texas and the nation.  The goal of the COE Research Database initiative is to build a more comprehensive database of teacher education and other data to facilitate the conduct of qualitative, quantitative, mixed-method cross-sectional and longitudinal educational and interdisciplinary research.

Construction of the COE Research Database began in September of 2007.
