Course Details

ED 741 Overview

The research practicum allows students to implement and analyze the research idea/study planned in ED 740: Research Seminar A. In consultation with doctoral advisors, instructors in ED 741 and community mentors, students will investigate a question or problem and evaluate the results. Drawing on their knowledge base from the content of ED 740, students will critique the data from the practicum experience, draw conclusions, and pose further questions for study. Hopefully, this experience will lead the students to the identification of an idea for a dissertation. In addition, this course will examine descriptive and inferential statistics, connect statistical analysis to scientific inquiry and relate all of the material to the logic of developing arguments within scientific inquiry method. Prerequisite: ED 740 or department approval.
