ED 876 - Applied Research

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

This course gives all students an opportunity to develop a hands-on pilot research project that is aligned with the students’ dissertation inquiry. The goal is to help students get the preliminary research experience by applying one research methodology student learned from the research courses in the program and run a real pilot research project. This course will include four components: Study planning, data collection, data and analysis preparation, and concluding reflection. Students are expected to consider the research ethics and issues related to the proposed pilot project, draft an IRB proposal for review, and follow the recruitment and data collection procedures ethically. Students are expected to present their pilot research findings as the end product of this course and use it as a foundation for the dissertation work.
