ALONE
- Read Chapter 21 of the Educational Research book " Preparing a research report"
- Read Chapter 22 of the Educational Research Book " Evaluating a research report"
- Do Task 11 of Chapter 22, and answer the self-test for Task 11, bring a copy of your answers for the first class.—yes, you can photocopy from the book and fill out the information with a pen.
- Read article (in Blackboard /Course Information/9804total document, page 33) How to publish in scholarly journals
- Go to Dowling’ Ed.D. LinkedIn PRIVATE group and post your comment on the discussion “Dowling Ed.D. Students are considered "early publishers" as they participate on peer reviewed conferences or publish in journals or proceedings before graduation. Why do you think this matter?” http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Dowling-EdD-students-are-considered-3966581.S.218055648
- Read ALL the articles to critique not the only ones assigned for your team- below
IN TEAMS:
- Read the assigned research article for each TEAM (listed next).
- Be ready to present using PowerPoint or another presentation format (15 minutes—allow time to discussion—NO MORE THAN 15 MIN), focus on the methodology used. Use your time productively, meaning I would need hear more critic any weakness/strengths the research than a mere description of the paper. For your benefit (not for presentation) follow self –task evaluation of Task 11.
- Papers are in the blackboard/readings.
