ED 6150 - 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 an organization, school, or classroom problem and increase the dialogue within a learning context. Emphasis is placed on empowering educational 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-or classroom. This course includes a non-credit hour professional or field experience.
