Educational Research Internship

Graduate

Candidates pursuing the Master of Education, under the guidance of a course instructor, field experience coordinator, and/or research partners in the field, will engage in a collaborative process leading to the production of a final paper on an issue or topic of inquiry of relevance to the research partners in the educational field. This course will present students with authentic assessment tasks that situates their on-going inquiries in a context that enables them to apply and further critique what has been learned previously. Students will engage in matters pertaining to research, program review, policy development, and so on, as appropriate. The spectrum of projects may, for example, address questions aimed at the improvement of literacy and numeracy skills, student motivation, curriculum integration, and leadership development. The final assessment will be grounded in relevant research and show evidence of knowledge, skills of inquiry, reflection and problem-solving acquired through the other courses. It will normally be taken following completion of the other coursework. (Prerequisites: EDUC-8001).
