Research in Early Childhood

Catalog description

This capstone course provides students the opportunity to complete their Graduate Research Project (GRP) by identifying and investigating school and community-based problems and applying inquiry writing, and research skills to a relevant issue or concern in early childhood. Students develop and implement a relevant research project that includes a problem statement, literature review, data collection, analysis, and summary/application. Alternatively, students pursuing a Master’s Thesis may substitute this class for the first 3 credit hours of EDEC 5306 Thesis.
