This required graduate-level course presents an introduction and overview of action research
processes, techniques, and procedures used to improve K-12 classroom instruction and schools.
Topics discussed in this course include reviewing what action research is, planning action
research, analyzing data, writing up research results, and presenting findings to improve
professional practice in K-12 and higher education. Ultimately, the course seeks to empower and
equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to conduct an action research project in
the area of your study (or specialty). This seminar provides an early opportunity for graduate
students to prepare for the rigors of academic work from a Christian worldview perspective and
to become familiar with the culture and expectations of the MAT program at
Lee. All course activities are designed to help teacher-scholars and practitioners develop
connections with each other and with the faculty to create a community of learners.
