Overall Educational Objective | To learn to understand basic concepts of research and its methodologies. | ||||||
Course Description | This course will focus on collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data about a research problem relating to education, developmental psychology, and/or psychological counseling and guidance. Concepts of tests, measurements, and other qualitative or quantitative methodologies will be emphasized. Students will analyze data, interpret findings, and write a research article and prepare a poster presentation. Students will apply concepts learned in EDS 403 for their own research under the supervision of the professor. |
