IED 574 - Research Project

The Research Project is designed to engage a graduate student in the practical application of research principles and skills in the study and improvement of international classrooms and schools. Each student is asked to create a qualitative research proposal within the field of International Education. Using knowledge from the previous courses, the student will write a research proposal with attention to themes such as articulating a well-written problem statement, reviewing literature, matching evidence and outcomes, and planning triangulation of a variety of data types. Although students will not implement proposals in this course, they will exit this (and the previous Research Methods course) with two excellent and “ready to go” research ideas. Students will also have opportunities to practice how to conduct pre and post data analyses. Students will be required to adhere to the standards, rules and procedures set forth in the APA (American Psychological Association) manual.
