EDDD 8026 - Practitioner Inquiry II

(5 credits)

Practitioner Inquiry II deepens students' expertise in measurement plan design through the development of rigorous Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles for evidence-based practice and inquiry. This course emphasizes data-driven insights for continuous improvement, empowering students to optimize the impact and measurable effectiveness of their selected projects. Students will refine their data inquiry skills, address common implementation hurdles, and identify appropriate analytical methods to evaluate the tangible improvement resulting from their change ideas. Through iterative reflection on data, students will learn to adapt, adopt, or abandon change strategies within subsequent PDSA cycles for more effective and sustainable problem-solving. Students will finalize Section 3 of their Evidence-Based Practice Capstone. 

Note: The Main Issue and ultimately the Problem of Practice that you select must be aligned to your degree specialization. For example: If you are in the Early Childhood Education specialization, the Main Issue and the Problem of Practice for your capstone must focus on that educational specialization.
