GED-638 Action Research Based Thesis Implementation
In this course, students will carry out their classroom-based action research project that was developed in GED627 using what they have learned about educational change; qualitative, quantitative, and technological methodologies in school- or classroom-based action research; and various school improvement and change models. Students will learn how to evaluate school programs for continuous improvement, including curricular and instructional practices, professional development, athletics, co-curricular activities, technology, support services, and community involvement. Students will extend and reinforce their knowledge, skills, and competencies related to professional and educational practice through identification and action research of an authentic classroom-based problem.
