This course introduces students to paradigmatic assumptions that underlie various traditions, with an eye toward helping students conceptualize research problems, develop researchable questions, and select appropriate research methods to respond to those questions. In this course, students examine how ontological, epistemological, and methodological assumptions shape research in education. The traditions of inquiry discussed in this class will help students understand the underlying assumptions about knowledge and knowledge production that lead to similarities and differences within and across qualitative and quantitative approaches to research.

Students explore leadership development and collaborative educational improvement through the underlying theory and practical application of psychological type, emotional intelligence, and theories of change. This course serves two purposes: (1) cohort formation, and (2) the use of theory, scholarship, and practice (tacit) knowledge to analyze educational dilemmas and make educational change. Students become members of a leadership/research team and investigate and analyze a case study involving an educational dilemma. After identifying root causes, students examine and critique underlying assumptions regarding problem definition and solution(s) using the lens of social justice, and apply adult learning and change theory to identify the opportunities for leadership and potential barriers to implementing change.

This course emphasizes the importance of learning how to access, read, review/critique, and summarize scholarly literature in education as an entry point in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and habits of scholars who later engage in research. Students learn strategies regarding how to critically read and evaluate literature. This understanding leads to knowledge about the results of educational research, and also the different methods of inquiry employed. Students become members of research teams and co-write a review of literature on an assigned research question. Students then consider and apply educational philosophy and theory to analyze and interpret review findings. Students gain knowledge and skills with regard to forming an argument, using APA style, and judging the merit of scholarly studies using established criteria in the field.
