EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH

Catalog description

This course will prepare students to carryout meaningful research on teaching and learning in the educational environment; provide the skills to understand and evaluate the research of others; and plan and conduct original independent research projects. Emphasis will be placed on the stages of the process of research design from creating hypotheses through data analysis and reporting. Equal attention will be paid to qualitative and quantitative research design, and the need to combine a variety of techniques in an effort to creatively address the complexity (multivariate/multicultural) of the educational setting.
