3 Credit(s) This course will allow the student to find and study models of accomplished researchers on the teaching of Mathematics at the secondary level. The course will examine necessary concepts in research validity; data gathering; instrumentation selection and construction; validation and reliability determinations; sampling techniques; and, research designing. Further, the course will review the application of statistical models salient to designs utilized in conducting research which requires the testing of hypotheses that have been generated from problems in secondary Mathematics. Open only to MAT and M.Ed. candidates for degree credit.
Prerequisites: Completed course in statistics and completion of the Measurement and Evaluation standard.
