(6 semester credits)
In this course, educators develop a broad understanding of theoretical frameworks and of the appropriate use of both qualitative and quantitative methods. Educators focus on methods designed specifically for studying human development and how individuals learn. They explore these methods through the examination of the philosophy of research and particular research strategies, review of literature in the field, and research and analysis of additional literature relating to individual interests. Additionally, educators reflect on and discuss ways in which research can lead to the promotion of social change on the job or in their community.
