Students will be challenged to reflect on and apply prior learning experiences to newer/current educational issues in order to gain a deeper perspective on those issues and develop possible solutions to problems. This course will utilize reflection, inquiry, and action that lead to the development of an action-based research project aiming to study educational issues in real world contexts. Working with their peers, students will develop an action research project which will culminate in a poster session to share results. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Educ majors and BA- or BS-Psych majors seeking an Educ minor.

EDUC - Jr and Sr Course is only open to Juniors and Seniors

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
