3 HIED 695 assignments must conform to guidance in this particular publication). Required and supplemental readings: These readings are listed in this SYLLABUS under COURSE Outline. COURSE Description: Three semester hours. This COURSE offers "An overview of research METHODOLOGY including basic concepts employed in quantitative and qualitative research methods. Includes computer applications for research. Prerequisites: Admission to the Doctoral Program. Note: Meets requirements for a Level I research tool COURSE " (Graduate Catalog, 2012-2013, online version).

4 This COURSE introduces research methods as they apply to the higher education (HIED) field of study. HIED 695 provides a macro-perspective of the methods associated with conducting scholarly research in all follow-on core, elective, quantitative and qualitative courses; and the doctoral dissertation. Completion of HIED 695 is a prerequisite for follow-on tools courses. Student Learning Outcomes: Upon completing this COURSE , each student will be able to: 1. demonstrate knowledge of research processes (reading, evaluating, and developing); 2.

5 Perform literature reviews using print and online databases; 3. employ American Psychological Association (APA) formats for citations of print and electronic materials; 4. identify, explain, compare, and prepare the key elements of a research proposal/report; 5. define and develop a possible HIED research interest area using specific research designs; 6. compare and contrast quantitative and qualitative research paradigms, and explain the use of each in HIED research; 7. describe, compare, and contrast descriptive and inferential statistics, and provide examples of their use in HIED research; 8.

6 Describe sampling methods, measurement scales and instruments, and appropriate uses of each; 9. explain the rationale for research ethics, and the importance of and local processes for Institutional Review Board (IRB) review; and 10. demonstrate how educational research contributes to the objectives of your doctoral program and to your specific career aspirations in HIED. COURSE REQUIREMENTS Instructional Methods/Activities/Assessments: 1. Literature Review (due electronically by noon Monday of week 9)and PowerPoint Presentation (due electronically by noon Monday of week 9): 300 points maximum available (200 points for the literature review and 100 points for the PowerPoint Presentation); 30% of final COURSE grade.

7 COURSE Learning Outcomes #1, 2, 3, 5, and 10: demonstrate knowledge of research processes (reading, evaluating, and developing); perform literature reviews using print and online databases; employ American Psychological Association (APA) formats for citations of print and electronic materials; define and develop a possible HIED research interest area using specific research designs; and demonstrate how educational research contributes to the objectives of your doctoral program and to your specific career aspirations in HIED. About this assignment: This assignment requires students to conduct research into a HIED-only area of interest, improve skills as consumers of research, and hone their proficiency as scholarly writers by producing an abbreviated literature review.

8 Literature reviews are vital to educational research and they serve as a key component of the doctoral dissertation (see Chapter 3 of the HIED 695 textbook--and various resources provided--for information about literature reviews). Do not recycle work from another COURSE . Assessment method: Grading for this assignment will focus on: 1) how well the student satisfies the criteria shown in the previous paragraphs, 2) adherence to effective writing principles (including, but not limited to, the quality of the content, clarity of expression, consistency of style and format, and active voice), and 3) compliance with APA (6th ed.

COURSE Learning Outcomes #1, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10: demonstrate knowledge of research processes (reading, evaluating, and developing); identify, explain, compare, and prepare the key elements of a research proposal/report; compare and contrast quantitative and qualitative research paradigms, and explain the use of each in HIED research; describe, compare, and contrast descriptive and inferential statistics, and provide examples of their use in HIED research.

10 Describe sampling methods, measurement scales and instruments, and appropriate uses of each; and demonstrate how educational research contributes to the objectives of your doctoral program and to your specific career aspirations in HIED. About this assignment: Each assessment requires students to read the assigned textbook readings and take the 20 question true/false quiz. The purpose of this assignment is to provide students with an opportunity to assess comprehension of material, the terminology, and key concepts presented in the textbook.
