CRI 771 - Methods in Educational Research Design

3
Introduces students to research. Fundamental questions raised are: What is research? What are the functions of research? What is the meaning of research? How does one ethically carry out research? These questions are addressed by examining an array of orientations and approaches to research. Students have the opportunity for professional development in knowledge and in skills related to research, including the opportunity to design a research project. The signature assignment of this course is a research proposal, a first draft of the student's proposal for the project/thesis in the curriculum and teaching program.
