EDU 660 Conducting Educational Research
This course will help prepare TESOL educators understand the various functions, benefits of, and uses for educational research and is a part of the three-course sequence for the College of Education (COE) as defined by the COE’s Master’s Project Handbook. Completing this course will further help TESOL candidates better design research projects suitable to the field and are to be constructed and created at the high standard to which students are held accountable. The research projects developed in this course should help further the field of education, particularly as related to TESOL (both teaching and learning). This course will scaffold students who have learned how to synthesize research from EDU 570 through the stages of designing a research proposal, thus preparing them for the final stages of their degree wherein students successfully complete their own Master’s project or thesis in EDU 690. This knowledge will help advance TESOL candidates into becoming scholarly teachers who are able to reflect on their core educational values, continually engage in their own learning process, and know how to approach issues, concerns or problems within their school community.
