| COURSE DESCRIPTIONS |
| |
| EDU 600 Course Description |
| This course studies the concepts, principles, and techniques of educational research with an emphasis on scientific inquiry and problem solving, designed for both the producer and consumer of educational research. Individual research proposals and reports are completed. Prerequisite: open to matriculated students only. |
| |
| EDU 624 Schools and the Classroom (3 credits) |
This course interrelates historical, philosophical, sociological, and curricular foundations of education. Students complete a personal platform or statement of professional purpose about schools as organizational culture and classrooms as learning environments and an analysis of one's own personal teaching context.
This course is offered twice yearly, in the Spring and Summer sessions.
When necessary, a similar content course from USM, such as EDU 603 Analysis of Teaching or EDU 610 Critical Issues, or another university may be substituted with permission. |
| |
EDU 627/628/629 Classroom Assessment and Research Development
|
(7 credits: 3 Fall (EDU 627), 3 Spring (EDU 628), 1 May Summer Session (EDU 629))
Prerequisite: Matriculation in the MTL program.
This integrated course focuses on the formative use of classroom assessment, including developing a repertoire of valid and reliable methods, communicating clear expectations, giving meaningful feedback, and involving students in assessment. Students share experiences and practices with each other, discuss and reflect upon relevant readings, apply learnings in classroom settings, and conduct action research projects to investigate the effects of their own research-based instructional interventions.
EDU 627/628/629 must be completed at USM. Participation in this course requires a full-time or part-time classroom position or ongoing access to a classroom with instructor’s permission. Petitions may be made to the MTL Coordinator for acceptance into the course with an alternative position/plan. Technology-based course accommodations may be made for those students living at some distance from USM. This is a full-year course meeting approximately one Saturday per month during the Fall and Spring semesters, extending into the first summer session —normally the first Saturday after graduation each year. |
