| Description |
Panel discussion and workshop on preparation of the research plan and statement.The four Research Specializations, Evaluation, Interpretive, Qualitative and Quantitative, were chosen to represent the domain of methodologies prevalent in educational research and pursued by our graduate students and faculty. It is intended that the choice of a Research Specialization will be consistent with a student's thesis research. While requirements differ for each specialization, all require some combination of introductory and advanced methods coursework, practical experience, and a capstone project. All Research Specializations require a two-stage approval process; (1) Preliminary Plan with brief written statement, and (2) Final Approval of a completed plan in which the student provides a written argument and supporting evidence demonstrating research competence. |
