Education professionals develop skills in strategic planning; begin to align their interest area to appropriate research and evaluation methods, and select and gather appropriate methodological resources to support their interest area research. A goal of this course is for educators to delineate appropriate research-based methodologies that may apply to an area of interest for their capstone projects.
