Course Description:
This is the first research course in the EdD program and is designed to develop students' research literacy skills through understanding the process of scientific inquiry. This course is centered on the premise that today's practitioners in the social sciences, including education, need a strong foundation in research to become discerning consumers and effective decision-makers. An in-depth understanding of ethical research and how to engage in scholarly research should enable professionals to make research-based decisions in their respective fields. Familiarity with research will also positively impact practice and policy development.
