Capstone in Educational Studies

Catalog description

The Educational Studies capstone course employs the knowledge attained in previous courses at West Chester University resulting in creating a researched, designed, and demonstrated educational experience. Students will be expected to identify and analyze a problem that might be addressed via an educational experience. Students will undertake a comprehensive review of the relevant literature related to their chosen concern, explain the theoretical position of their analysis, and employ a clear curricular theory in designing a unique, pedagogical intervention. Building on previous courses, students will be assisted in the development of relevant pedagogical and oral communication skills and will be asked to employ these skills in the demonstration of their program (in whole or in part) for their peers.
