ED585 Student Research Capstone

This course is designed for those graduate students who are not seeking certification. Students are expected to revisit the Action Research plan that they created in ED578. After adjusting for potential changes in career goals, each candidate will choose between the two options listed here. 1. Execute the research proposal detailed in the final paper for ED578. The proposal will be formally submitted to the Franklin Pierce IRB for approval. Adjustments may be made for access to subjects and an appropriate K-12 school. 2. Should the candidate decide that an action research project is not feasible, due either to job/personal constraints or a change in preferred focus, the project will become a research assignment. This option will include a deeper dive in published literature and first-hand accounts or primary documents. Prerequisites: all Education courses, or Dean or their designee and Director permission.
