Proseminar in Educational Research

Catalog description

This seminar enables doctoral students to describe, analyze, and assess key questions, texts, ideas, and intellectual approaches to contemporary educational scholarship. The goal is to provide students a foundation for their own developing research projects. The course content attends to the multidisciplinary nature of educational research, how various theoretical traditions approach educational problems in complementary or contrasting ways, and how educational research functions (or fails to function) at the nexus of policy and practice. The course will also attend to the various ways empirical research brings to the foreground the role of values in educational research. Open to EdD students only.
