EDMA634 Action Research Project (3 cr.)Prerequisite(s):
In this summative course students apply research skills relevant to professional settings. Published studies are critiqued by identifying strengths and limitations of the methodology and evaluating potential impact on educational practice. The action research project results in a written paper, which includes an introduction, a review of current literature, research questions, a description of the methodology and means of evaluation, the findings and interpretation of results, and possible questions for further study. Research designs, evaluation of published studies, decision analysis, and methods for communicating and implementing results are practiced through several experiences.
Upon completion of this course, students are expected to be able to do the following:
- Compare and contrast descriptive/experimental research and quantitative/qualitative research identifying their application to educational practice.
- Critique published educational research by identifying limitations, assumptions, and biases of the studies.
- Apply skills to create and implement a research plan.
- Use academic writing skills and APA style in the development of an action research project.
- Demonstrate public speaking skills including adapting one’s speaking style to the audience and using appropriate technology.
