最终事件:
初步审查:
At the end of the academic term in which students are enrolled in 8093年更高 行政研究研讨会 和 prior to completion of the dissertation proposal, students complete a preliminary exam (also sometimes called "comps" or "comprehensive exam"). The preliminary exam consists of written responses to three questions developed by the instructor of the 研究 Seminar. Through the comprehensive exam, students 必须 demonstrate the ability to:

  • situate 和 define a chosen topic or field within the concepts 和 history of the field;
  • 比较, contrast 和 justify various research methods appropriate to investigation of a practice-based research problem; 和
  • critically synthesize the extant scholarly 和 practice-focused literature that informs administrative practice related to the topic.

Students 必须 obtain a passing score on the preliminary exam prior to registering for 建造于9998年 论文开题设计. A passing score is also required for elevation to c和idacy following a successful proposal defense.

论文建议:
In the term immediately following completion of the 8093年更高 行政研究研讨会 和 successful completion of the comprehensive exam, students enroll in 建造于9998年 论文开题设计. 就像 8093年更高 行政研究研讨会, 建造于9998年 论文开题设计 作为一个结构化的, intensive cohort-based monthly workshop in which students design 和 defend a dissertation proposal that outlines a rigorous plan for empirical study of an issue relevant to the student’s professional responsibilities or aspirations. The proposal 必须 incorporate a thorough 和 critical review of literature relevant to the topic, a discussion of theoretical approaches to underst和ing 和 studying the topic, a conceptual or theoretical framework that will guide the study, 和 a robust methodological plan that includes assurances of completing 院校检讨委员会(IRB) review 和 any interview or other protocols necessary to submit for IRB review. Dissertation proposal defense occurs at any point during or at the end of the academic term. Students receive feedback from the faculty advisor, other committee members 和 their cohort peers during their defense.

论文:
The EdD dissertation is distinct from the PhD dissertation in that the intent of the EdD dissertation is not to build theory but to make a substantive contribution to practice-focused scholarship in a particular domain of K-12 educational leadership. EdD dissertations are typically less lengthy than PhD dissertations 和 cover a smaller scope of theorizing 和 data collection. 他们是, 然而, held to the same st和ards as PhD dissertations with respect to methodological validity, 数据分析, 写作质量和清晰度.

Following successful defense of the dissertation proposal 和 after securing IRB approval, students carry out an original research project intended to make a significant practice-based contribution to the field. While the EdD dissertation is meant to have practical 和 applied relevance, 然而, it is nonetheless expected to engage rigorously with existing literature 和 theory appropriate to the student’s chosen topic 和 to demonstrate the student’s ability to execute robust methods appropriate to the student’s research question(s). 为此,教育学博士的学生们:

  • prepare a dissertation study report that is a st和ard academic manuscript, 其中包括一个介绍, 文献综述, conceptual/theoretical framework, 方法, 结果, discussion 和 references; 和
  • produce a white paper/executive summary that distills the lessons of their research for practitioners in their field.
