EDU-550: Research I

In this course candidates will learn to read professional literature and to develop and evaluate both quantitative and qualitative research that informs their instruction and assessment. They will learn how to use research to answer specific questions that arise in their own classrooms, schools, and districts. They will collaborate with others in their schools and/or districts and candidates in their program and profession to develop a question or questions that will be used for future collaborative research in EDU-570. For the Teacher Leader Master’s Program, EDU-550 must be taken at the University of Pikeville and must be completed before taking EDU-570.
