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.

We explore research that showcases the art of Black teaching as it relates to literacy, math, and science teaching; theories, methodologies, and political thought represented in the education literature, including Black pedagogical practices that centered liberation, justice, and care; and contemporary realities of U.S. public education for Black communities, including ongoing grassroots experiments and interventions needed to bring about an inclusive, equitable, and relevant education.

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.

In this course students study and gain experience in music and music education research methodologies and music reference procedures. Emphasis is placed on using qualitative research methodologies and resources toward conducting small, real-world research projects, reporting them in class, and creating research papers and/or topic proposals for MA theses and PhD dissertations.

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.

Introduction for occupational therapist to the practical and ethical methods of scientific inquiry including variable definition, formulating research questions and hypotheses, and proposing research designs for conducting studies. Refinement of skills for reviewing and critiquing the literature.

Practical course designed to acquaint the student with research design & methodology in order to facilitate an understanding of research in the administration of educational organizations. Focuses on critical evaluation of research studies & comparative assessment of organizational analyses.

Introduction to design, interpretation, & evaluation of research in nutrition. To be taken first semester of the master's program.

Examination of research on urban education and minority student. Emphasis on prevailing views for improving teaching and learning in urban areas and the impact of minority communities on schools. Effecting change in the classroom and the school is a central concern of the course.

New Course Description: This course enables students to begin the research process as a result of approval of the UCAIHS for the study. It supports students during the gathering of data for the research thesis, in analyzing all of the data upon completion of collection, and in assuring the reporting of the findings of the study through the writing of the final thesis. Upon completion of the master’s thesis, students are expected to submit the results of the study to an appropriate physical therapy-related journal.

This year-long seminar provides doctoral students with (a) guidance in the research process as they work with faculty & share their progress in class & colloquia; (b) a forum to engage in critical discussion & share experiences around the process of research, including study design, measurement, participant recruitment, conducting of study, analysis, dissemination, & central research topics (such as ethics, research transparency, & reproducibility); and (c) a platform for presenting research progress & findings at the end of each academic year to students & faculty.

This workshop serves two purposes: 1) to identify the methods used to collect data and information for students' culminating projects, and 2) to develop procedures for analyzing and writing up results for both qualitative and quantitative data. Students will receive feedback from the instructor, their faculty advisors, and members of their cohort & to assist in completing the analysis and writeup of their culminating project for completion of the Ed.D. degree.

This course emphasizes developing knowledge within occupational therapy as a research consumer and contributor. Focused on applying Research Methods, Research Seminar I covers methodologies, critiquing published work, and ethical considerations. Students identify a clinical research topic and develop a proposal to answer a clinical question. In Research Seminar II, students work with a mentor to complete a research study.

Students work closely with their research mentor in a small group format throughout the semester to complete a research study. Emphasizes hands-on experience and knowledge to conduct original research that will contribute to the growth of the profession. Faculty-mentored projects address various research methodologies used in occupational therapy for evidence-based research, ranging from database research (systematic reviews) to quantitative and qualitative study designs.
