EDUC 776 - Research Framework and Design

This course follows Introduction to Action Research and is designed to further candidates’ knowledge and experience with action research. While learning the components of action research, candidates proceed with their own Action Research Inquiry Projects: formulate a research question and a research design, locate and review relevant literature, and collect data. This course will challenge candidates to integrate the core program concepts and vision into their classrooms through action research learning. Candidates reflect upon action research in the context of contributing to knowledge about education and to their professional development. MATL candidates’ continued inquiry and involvement with the action research process will provide opportunities to make classrooms more effective for students and teachers.
