Graduate Courses

This course explores current theories on the teaching of academic writing for multilingual students. Topics include: cultural perspectives on academic writing; typical genres in academic writing; issues related to providing formative feedback; and an exploration of writing as a process.

This class will explore research and practice in supporting the development of academic writing for English language learners. Topics covered will include the nature of the challenge for non-native writers in terms of lexicon, grammar, and rhetorical structure. Pedagogical options for supporting English L2 writing development including the use of multiple drafts, feedback, options, writing conferences, individual and peer editing. Problematic issues such as rhetorical transfer and what constitutes plagiarism will also be considered.

Analyzing & evaluating research studies in the behavioral sciences. Focus on research across the lifespan including in relation to children, adolescents, & adults. Emphasis on the science of research, developing hypotheses, sampling, defining & measuring variables, types of experimental & non experimental designs, qualitative designs, evaluation designs, & ethics in research.

Students apply theory, research design, data analysis, and interpretation to develop and conduct an independent research project. Students analyze, summarize, and present their research findings, culminating in a written paper and oral presentation. This course should be taken in the last semester of study in the master's program.

The purpose of this course is to develop good consumers of educational research in both postsecondary & workplace settings. As part of an action research proposal, students will develop data collection procedures & instruments appropriate to investigating problems in practice settings.

This course provides a forum for the presentation of research by eminent researchers in the field of communication sciences and disorders and related disciplines. Students and professional participants are invited to comment, ask questions, and engage in an array of topics in basic science as well as clinical areas. Research papers will be read in advance to prepare for upcoming colloquia. Students in the course will develop their writing skills and learn to formally and concisely write papers about research in CSD.

Planning & implementing research in the behavioral sciences; analysis of data; interpretation of findings. Formulating problems & hypotheses; specification of types of variables & operational definitions; experimental & non experimental research designs; use of randomization & controls; sampling problems basic to statistical inference.

Understanding research as disciplined inquiry by focusing on theoretical concepts, primary issues, and techniques of research in art education with specific emphasis on qualitative research methods. Examination of the social, political, philosophical, and ethical issues involved in doing research.

An introduction to research methods used in art therapy with an emphasis on qualitative research design. Students work on the formulation of research questions and develop a thesis proposal.

This course provides guidance on process and methodology in preparation for the thesis. Students define the subject of their thesis research, share their work in progress, and participate in discussions, working sessions, and critiques. By the end of the semester, students will have completed several crucial steps in the thesis process including bibliography, proposal, and outline.

Examines theoretical perspectives, modes of inquiry, methodologies and procedures for conducting research in dance and education. Focus on developing qualitative research and writing skills, and tools in movement assessment. Case study applications in dance education are stressed.

A review of current research and the development of research projects based on previous training and course work. Focus on evaluating research in such areas as education in other cultures, global communications, modernization, educational transfer, and international cultural relations.

No Course Description Available.

This course provides knowledge and understanding of the research process for historical, philosophical, descriptive, and experimental research. The major steps in the research process include: selection and formulation of a research problem, formulation of the research hypothesis, selection of the appropriate research design to collect data, knowledge of sampling and statistical analyses, development of the master’s thesis outline, and submission of the thesis outline for IRB approval.

Learning-through-doing on a faculty-led research project to map international engagement at NYU Steinhardt, this experiential learning course is designed for students who want to gain experience in project scoping and planning, collecting and analyzing quantitative and/or qualitative data, working as a member of a research team, producing different forms of data visualization, and communicating findings to stakeholders. Students leave with marketable research skills, insights into international higher education, and valuable experience in the consulting profession.

In this course, we deepen our understanding of theories of intersectionality, the origins of these theories, and the sociopolitical contexts in which theorists of intersectionality have found themselves. In addition, we take up theories of intersectionality to examine contemporary approaches to educational equity in U.S. contexts and design a pilot study which takes into account the dis)connections between identities, power, oppression, and justice in education.

Students research key issues that impact global art production and its reception through readings across disciplines (art history, criticism, sociology, etc.) Student analysis drives the discussion in each session. Competency in the subject and learning new research skills is built via written, oral, and a/v assignments. The final assignment is a project proposal related to the section’s theme, approved by the instructor, and completed in ARVA-GE 2301 (Spring).

This course guides knowledge development as a professional consumer of research and as a contributor to the growth of the profession. Emphasizes practical applications of research foundations, and addresses methodologies for evidenced-based research, guidelines to facilitate students’ ability to critique published work, and ethical considerations and practices required for conducting research. Students identify a clinical research topic of interest, and develop a proposal to answer that question.

Significant investigations in mathematics education are reviewed and evaluated. Includes studies with methods of teaching.
