Purpose
As stated in the course syllabus, EDTP 506: Public Schools in America "is designed to examine the historical, sociological and philosophical foundations of education with a particular attention to issues of equity in public education. This course will also contextualize the foundation of education within the current education environment and issues at the national, state, and local levels."
This LibGuide intends to support that purpose by providing in one place a variety of relevant and scholarly resources available to the UofL community. The resources within this guide may be most useful for the completion of the I-Search paper and presentation but can also be applicable for broader education-related research.
Hallmark Assessment Task
For this course, candidates will prepare:
- A research paper with APA citations
- A technology-supported presentation about their I-Search paper
- A one-page graphic handout that summarizes their research study and findings
- A final reflection
The I-Search paper is also to be "a serous inquiry... into any topic of personal and professional importance." It must include:
- interviews with two expert our authority sources
- four text-based scholarly sources (research articles, books, and book chapters).
