ED 697 - Introduction to Ethnographic Research in Education

Institution:

Pacific Oaks College

Subject:

Description:

This course is the first in a series of three courses and serves as an introduction to the Ethnography Thesis Project. The course introduces candidates to qualitative research and the use of ethnography to learn about students, families, schools, and community. This course uses the ethnographic method to help students identify a question, gather data in order to "tell the story," and analyze the data toinform their teaching practice. In this course students complete Section I of the ethnography by reflecting on their personal story and how it has led them to the teaching profession. Candidates complete Section II of the ethnography by identifying three students they will follow throughout the study, by interviewing the students and their parents and by gathering data so they can better tell the students' personal and academic stories. Early in the course, students must have their Human Subjects Review forms approved by the instructor. Advancement to Candidacy takes place upon successful completion of this course. Competencies: Research, Fieldwork.
