ENGL 696 English Teacher as Researcher Course Series
(ENGL 694: English Teacher as Researcher: Proposal (3); ENGL 695 English Teacher as Researcher: Data Collection (1); ENGL 696 English Teacher as Researcher: Analysis (3) Emphasis on qualitative and classroom-based research methodologies, culminating in a significant action-research project using the student's teaching community as the research setting and students as the research participants. In ENGL 694 students will communicate with the instructor initially to discuss readings on classroom-based research methodology and then will design and propose a project as well as receive Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval to conduct research. Research is conducted during the time period in which the student is enrolled in ENGL 695. If more than one semester is needed for conducting a meaningful research project, a grade of IN is assigned until research is completed (no more than two semesters). ENGL 696 leads to preparation of a publishable-quality, written report of the research project.
