GED 699 - Capstone Seminar in Graduate Education

This course supports students as they complete the M.Ed. program. Students research a topic in their field of interest and then complete both a paper and presentation demonstrating their in-depth understanding of this topic. Research skills, critique and reflection, and expressive presentations are included.

Note: GED 558 and GED 699 are required for the Masters in Education.

Students develop a research proposal in GED 558; in GED 699, they implement the proposal. GED 699 should be your last course in the program. It is necessary to leave one semester between GED 558 and GED 699 in order to collect your research data.

The Educator as Researcher instructor approves the research proposal if the student leaves only one semester between Ed Research and Capstone and the methodology remains the same for Capstone. Otherwise, the Capstone instructor approves the proposal.  Students must send the complete research proposal (Introduction, Literature Review and Methodology) to the Capstone instructor for approval at least one month before the first Capstone class.

Prerequisites:
Prerequisite: GED 558 Educator as Researcher, a research proposal, and approved methodology by GED 558 or Capstone instructor.

Credits: 3 cr.
