HEA 8060 (ED8060) - Dissertation Seminar I

The dissertation presents an opportunity for students to develop in‐depth expertise in a topic of professional interest and selected research methods. In the dissertation seminars students build on their coursework in educational inquiry and research methods and they structure the dissertation research and writing process. Students will then finalize their research questions, research design, data collection tools, letters of consent and formal proposal. Upon acceptance of the proposal by their committees students will complete their IRB requests for approval. Both K‐12 and higher education students take this course together. (4 credits)
