This is the culminating course in the masters’ courses of study. Candidates carry out an applied research project in a chosen area of expertise that demonstrates and documents the candidates comprehensively developed skills. The project synthesizes work of the degree candidates’ program. The field project is based on a standards based learner-centered quantitative or qualitative design begun in the research course and refined in this course. The design demonstrates application of a range of teaching/learning methods, media, instructional technology, and integrates appropriate criteria, rubrics, and assessments. The instructional needs of diverse learners are integrated into the field design. The final report includes detailed documentation of the rationale, design, and implementation of the project followed by an evaluation and analysis of project results. Candidates are encouraged to publish their reports in professional journals and in ERIC.
