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.

Open to Special Education majors in the College of Education. Enrollment in this course is restricted to students enrolled in the Special Education Undergraduate program.
We will be manually enrolling students into this course
