Being a knowledgeable consumer of research requires the ability to understand and process the philosophies, core components, and designs and methodologies in educational research and scholarship. In this course, education professionals develop the skills to analyze and interpret research studies with a critical eye as well as to communicate or implement the findings. They work toward becoming consumers of research who confidently assess the reliability and validity of a study, interpret the study, and articulate and/or implement the findings of the study into practice. In addition, they engage in practical assignments focused on quantitative methods of design and analysis.
