Admission to Ed.D. program, EDL 800, EDL 801. (6)

Knowledge and skills for designing quantitative research at the doctoral level, including understanding research design, data analysis and statistics, the importance of quality assurance, and ethical and social change implications of conducting quantitative research and producing knowledge. Statistics approached from a problem-solving perspective, with emphasis on selection of appropriate statistical tests for research. In Part I, students explore classical quantitative research designs and common statistical tests, and they apply and synthesize their core knowledge and skills by developing a quantitative research plan. In Part II, students develop more specialized knowledge and skills, including understanding multivariate data analysis and more advanced statistical concepts, and they apply them as they more fully develop a research design including appropriate statistical tests.
