LEA 751 - Research-Based Program Improvement

6 credits

This capstone master’s thesis course engages students in area-specific, action-research. It allows a student to explore individual program needs and organizational issues of a school. Students will identify a research question appropriate to their specific setting, develop a hypothesis, collect data by exploring ways to address the problem, and implement a pilot project. Since this course spans the school year in order to research, implement, and evaluate the project, results will be publication ready and presented to the class.
