EDUC 0635 - Laboratory in Program Assessment and Design

Credits: 3

This laboratory deals with a set of policy decisions associated with the direction and operation of specific educational programs. Students will work on two problems in a semester. The first problem involves an analysis of an existing program in terms of the student, teacher and community. It focuses on the development of criteria and methods of research necessary for evaluating the effectiveness of the program, and for the development of recommendations for improvement (field-based). The second problem is concerned with program design. The graduate student must think through the conception and implementation of a new program to deal with an unresolved problem. Students learn to translate promising concepts into detailed workable proposals and the consequences of the program.
