Description
EED 570 is the first of two research courses in the thesis track. The thesis is conducted in an area of interest of the candidate with advisor approval. It is designed to provide the knowledge and skills in a variety of areas to strengthen personal, academic, and research competencies vital to the success in completing a research thesis. A thesis is a systematic inquiry into an issue or phenomenon. The candidate identifies an educational issue or phenomenon by investigating it and gathering, analyzing, and interpreting data. This seminar will result in the completion of the thesis proposal, which includes an introduction, review of the literature, and methodology that are written in APA format. Some of the requirements (e.g., collecting baseline data) for the field experience (EED 560) course may coincide with the data collection of the thesis.
