Course
Descriptions
ECI 510 RESEARCH IN EDUCATION This
course affords the graduate student an overview of the methods
used in educational research. Students will study and apply
different methods of quantitative and qualitative research.
The course will further increase a student's understanding of
research methodology and design. The central focus will be on
action research which will lead to the culminating project within
the Master's Program. At the completion of this course, students
will have identified their thematic concerns and will have begun
the cycle of action research. Three credit hours.
ECI 520 SEMINAR: REFLECTIONS ON A CLIMATE
FOR LEARNING This course defines curriculum as a planned
educational response to the needs of society and the individual.
It requires that the learner construct knowledge, attitudes,
values, and skills through a complex interplay of mind, materials,
and social interactions. Upon examining current theories and
trends in curriculum and assessment design, students will reflect
upon climates for acquiring knowledge by transforming curriculum
into active and meaningful learning experiences. Three credit
hours.
ECI 530 EDUCATIONAL EXPLORATIONS IN
DIVERSITY This course is designed to provide theoretical
and applied knowledge of practical methods, strategies, and
techniques used to successfully meet the diverse needs of today's
inclusive classroom. Three credit hours.
ECI 540 LEARNING, THINKING AND THE CURRICULUM
This course is designed to examine theories of learning and
thinking as they interact with the elementary classroom disciplines.
Curriculum will be reviewed to determine if skill development
correlates with the theorists' contribution regarding the learning
process. Three credit hours.
ECI/HUM 550 NARRATIVE PRACTICUM AND
WORKSHOP This course teaches advanced skills for taking
research experiences and turning them into effective narratives,
appropriate to be incorporated into thesis projects. The course
begins with exercises on building style. Thereafter, the course
will examine what narrative (or, as it is sometimes known, storytelling)
is and how, when used effectively, it can serve as an impressive
vehicle for imparting a complete picture of a research problem
and findings. Essays will be examined which successfully braid
personal experience, research, fieldwork, and other components
into complex, interconnected narratives. Short preliminary essay
assignments will prepare the student to begin to use narrative
form to convey their research findings. The second half of the
semester will be structured as a workshop, with students presenting
rough and then final drafts of their own extended, braided narratives
for in-class critique, in an ongoing process of revision toward
a final product. At semester's end, students will hand in a
portfolio of revised writings, including all draft stages of
all assignments and final revisions. Three credit hours.
ECI/HUM 560 THE ESSAY TRADITION: CLASSIC
AND CONTEMPORARY ESSAYS ON LEARNING AND LANGUAGE The course

in English. Special attention is paid to essays within the humanities
that address issues of learning and language. In the first half
of the term, students read and respond to representative pieces
of non-fiction prose from the Ancients to the Victorians, and
in the second half, they read and respond to representative
pieces of non-fiction prose from writers of the modern and postmodern
periods. Throughout the term, students study the rhetorical
and formal characteristics of essays, examine the historical,
social, and political conditions that shape the production and
reception of essays, and investigate the importance of the essay
form to the production and communication of knowledge and meaning.
Three credit hours.
ECI/APY 570 SOCIO-CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY
A graduate level introduction to the social science discipline
of anthropology. Utilizing the discipline's cross-cultural perspective,
the course focuses on the interplay between biological and socio-cultural

in human adaptation. Students will explore the principles of
ethnographic research and the potential for applying anthropology's
insights to other fields of endeavor. Three credit hours.
