EDLP 6030 Educational Research

Designed to develop an understanding of qualitative and quantitative research designs. The course focuses on basic descriptive and inferential statistics to assist candidates in designing a quantitative study for their final project; and on qualitative designs to assist candidates who may choose to complete their project using this type of research. It also focuses on quantitative decision-making as it relates to school settings and school issues. During the course, candidates understand the research process and begin to develop a plan for their final project that is required for this program. During each of the subsequent semesters of this program, candidates have continuing opportunities to meet both individually and collaboratively with the other members of the cohort and the faculty as their final project is developed. The fifteen field hours assigned to this course are used for that purpose. Prerequisite(s): EDLP 6010
