Education 739 - Introduction to Inquiry

This seminar forms the base of the research offerings for students in the Ed.D. in Policy & Leadership Studies. In the course, we will explicate knowledge production through systematic inquiry in education, including processes, questions, and strategies used to conduct meaningful research in educational systems including U.S. K-12 public schools, U.S. higher education, and international education. We explore the intersection of theory and practice with emphasis on the epistemological assumptions and design of thoughtful, ethical inquiry about education. We also emphasize sound academic writing principles and provide structured guidance in developing those skills.

This course is designed for Incoming Policy and Leadership Doctoral students.
