Participatory Action Research Theory: Inquiry Proposal

Catalog description

The goal in this course is to begin the legacy inquiry project proposal that delineates a focus for the inquiry, the rationale for initiating inquiry and a theoretical perspective. It also includes a literature review that demonstrates knowledge of the conceptual fields and research studies related to the students’ inquiry and a description of the methodology to be used for investigation and interpretation. In addition, the course will prepare students to develop their minds as scholars by understanding the world of research and the integrated dynamics of urban systems. Participants will be exposed to the elements of inquiry, process skills and practices, questioning and building evidence-based explanations through hands-on activities.
