ED 6150 - Field Experiences and Action Research

(3)

Students will develop knowledge and skills needed to design and propose an action research project as a basis to make curricular and instructional decisions or to address a school or classroom problem and increase the dialogue within a learning context. Emphasis is placed on empowering teacher leaders in the context being studied to use data (qualitative and/or quantitative) and research literature as the foundation for examining a problem and solution in order to determine a subsequent course of action. The reflective aspect of action research helps individuals become aware of their own practices and helps them look for solutions to issues in their organization, building, or classroom. This course includes a non-credit hour field experience.
