EDU-711 Applied Methods II: Enacting Critical Research (3)

This course revisits the methodology tools of participatory action research, qualitative methods, and developmental methods with an anti-racist lens. Students explore a potential matrix of methods to employ for their own scholarly research. Students work with their doctoral committees and peer support networks to solidify a scholarly practitioner approach to apply to their problem of practice. They gain practice in developing and piloting survey instruments as well as interview and observation protocols, all focused on the practices and experiences of education stakeholders. Students also become familiar with strategies for drawing response samples and learn systematic approaches and tools for qualitative data coding and analysis. Prerequisite: EDU-703 and EDU-710.
