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.
