EU502
Interpreting Research in Education
0.5 Credit

In this course, participants develop the capacity to be informed consumers of educational research. Students discuss and analyze research from quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods designs in order to make evidence-based decisions relating to the application of research to specific contexts. Students will consider ethics as it applies to research and complete the TCPS-2 certificate. Additionally, students develop and refine their scholarly writing and apply the basics of APA writing conventions (e.g., in-text citations, references) to their written assignments. Students intending to take EU597 will identify a research topic, develop research questions, identify relevant research literature that will inform their understanding of their research topic, and conduct a short literature review.
