MEDUC 523 - Teacher Research Seminar

Credits: (3)
This course is designed to engage the teacher candidate in an understanding of the basics of educational research and the value of research for the beginning teacher. Specific attention is given to problem definition, data collection and methods of analysis related to instruction. Similarly, teacher candidates are helped to develop their proficiency in “reflective practice” as a key dimension of successful classroom instruction. An individual reflective inquiry project will be planned, undertaken and documented. Where applicable, approval by the Mount’s Institutional Review Board will be required for this project. Prerequisite(s): MEDUC 502 and MEDUC 504. For MAT students only. Taken concurrently with Internship II. Fall.
