| Course Description: |
| This course explores educational inquiry in terms
of the relationship between epistemology, methodology and practice.
The course first examines the frameworks that underpin the methods
used by educational research. The course then explores a broad
spectrum of approaches and methodologies in interpretive inquiry,
including action research, feminist approaches, ethnography
and biographical research. In our professional lives, this understanding
of the processes and results of the research enterprise allows
us to participate in the creation and dissemination of new knowledge
and practices. Assessing and evaluating information before we
choose to integrate it into our knowledge base, or everyday
practice, is an essential skill in any field. This course provides
opportunities to develop a critical view of interpretive research
perspectives and methods, in application to the field of education.
This course is graded credit / non-credit. |
