EDS 140Introduction to Action Research in P–12 Schools
Using a service-learning model, the course provides students with the opportunity to serve as mentors and tutors at local underserved P–12 public schools and/or community centers while building the foundations of their own action research projects. Students will be introduced to qualitative research in education and taught the importance of conducting ethical and responsible research. Structured as a seminar, the course serves as a venue for students to develop their action research proposal.
