EDL 860 Systematic Study of Complex Problems of Practice
This course will equip students to explore approaches to inquiry of a problem of practice and engage in educational research. Conceptual, procedural, and analysis issues from quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research traditions will be addressed, such that students will be aware of a range of procedures that may be applied to different types of educational action research studies. Attention will also be given to guidelines that should be used in selecting a set of appropriate research methods, including theoretical and conceptual frameworks to inform research questions and the choice of data. This course will lay the foundation for the student’s action research dissertation.
