ESR 616 Empirical/Analytic Research II

Students explore assumptions and techniques of empirical/analytic research in the context of schools and the larger context of education. The course builds on the knowledge gained in ESR 612 by focusing on the approaches and methods for data collection, analysis, and interpretation assumptions, and limitations of empirical/analytic studies that use multiple measures. Students are expected to conduct and report on a small-scale research project in their own setting by collecting and interpreting quantitative data. Statistical software (e.g., SPSS) is used by students to analyze their research project data. The course includes a minimum of 15 hours of fieldwork. Prerequisite(s): Doctoral Standing; ESR 610 and ESR 612. 3 semester hours
