The student will investigate identified needs for teaching and learning and secure approval for “participation of human subjects” from the University’s Institutional Review Board. As a teacher-scholar, the student will answer the essential question, “How do I go about answering the questions on topics and problems that concern me as a teacher in my practice and my field?” The student will learn quantitative and qualitative research methodology and data analysis, and then they will design an empirical research study to be detailed in a formal written proposal.
