EDUC 3001 - PRACTITIONER INQUIRY 1: THE SCIENCE OF IMPROVEMENT

Back to all EDUC courses

Foundations 1 and Practitioner 1 represent an integrated 6-credit experience that is designed to help you begin your doctoral adventure. The courses provide an understanding of becoming a Scholarly Practitioner and the tools to identify, frame, and consider ways to thoughtfully engage in systematic inquiry focused on important Problems of Practice in education. Practitioner Inquiry focuses on Improvement Science, our signature method in the EdD. At the center of practitioner inquiry is the ability to use data to understand the effects of innovations that seek to improve problems found in practice. It is the process of posing significant questions, using various research, theories, and professional wisdom, and designing innovative solutions to address complex problems of practice.

Credits: 3.0
