Continued introduction of different types of tests, including psychoeducational, neuropsychological, and vocational assessment instruments and methods. Continued work with comprehensive reports, as well as the feedback process.

Overview of major areas in psychology that are critical to education; discussion of concepts & principles fundamental to the learning process & their application to teaching.

Overview of psychological theoretical frameworks, concepts, strategies & tactics of intervention & social change at different levels of analysis. Emphasis is placed on designing & implementing social change interventions in the domains of environmental behavior, poverty, inequality, health, education, conflict & peace, collective action & social movements.

This course considers the effect of music on the human mind. Concepts discussed include our perception of music, psychoacoustics, expressive performance, representations of music, computational models, and the relations between music theory and our perceptions of music.

This course considers the effect of music on the human mind. Concepts discussed
include our perception of music, psychoacoustics, expressive performance, representations of music, computational models, and the relations between music theory and our perceptions of music.

This course analyzes a wide range of published research on relationships between music education and (1) behaviorism, (2) cognitive development theory, (3) constructivism, (4) humanism, (5) human consciousness studies, (6) self-identity formation, (7) motivation theory, and (8) tests of musical intelligence and achievement. Music education contributes importantly to this dialectical exchange among competing and complementary theories.

Surveys psychology of women. Topics include psychoanalytic conceptions of women; theories of sex-role development; sexuality & psychological health; mothering, fathering, & gender arrangements; ways of knowing; abuse , dominance, violence, & power, & achievement.

The study of psychological difficulties throughout the lifespan (i.e., childhood through adulthood). Behavioral, developmental and ecological perspectives are used in looking at specific problems such as depression, ADHD, autism, and other difficulties. Students explore theoretical perspectives, use of the DSM and practical applications.

The course will enable the student to: independently examine and reexamine a patient or client with ob/gyn, integumentary or endocrine problems by obtaining a pertinent history from the patient or client and from other relevant sources, by performing relevant systems review, and by selecting appropriate age related tests and measure; synthesize examinations and to complete the physical therapy evaluation; engage in the diagnostic process in an efficient and cost-effective manner consistent with the policies and procedures of the practice setting; engage in the diagnostic process to establish differential diagnoses for patients across the life span; and determine patient or client prognoses based on evaluation of results of examinations and medical and psychosocial information.

Students will establish a safe and effective physical therapy plan of care; establish goals and functional outcomes that specify expected time duration; define achievable patient or client outcomes with available resources; monitor and adjust the plan of care in response to patient or client status; provide direct physical therapy intervention of achieve patient or client outcomes based on the examination and on the impairment, functional limitations, and disability; promote optimal health by providing information on wellness, impairment , disease, disability and health risks related to age, gender, culture and lifestyle; provide primary, secondary or tertiary care to patients in collaboration with other practitioners in settings supportive of comprehensive and complex services based on patient's or client's goals and expected functional outcomes and on knowledge of one's own and other's capabilities,

This course focuses on techniques of communication in public relations including creation of press releases, press packets and kits, and developing public relations campaigns.

Analysis of the problems of speaking to groups and practice in preparing and presenting speeches for various purposes and occasions. Hours are arranged for student evaluation and practice.

This course offers an intensive walkthrough of a qualitative research method design with a heavy focus on practical application during asynchronous learning. This course is a reduced mini module tailored for the Ed.D. Online students who are considering using qualitative research method for their
Capstone Project. Topics covered include (1) Conceptual and Theoretical Frameworks, (2) Qualitative Research Design, and (3) Making Sense of Qualitative Data.

Course provides an intensive introduction to qualitative methods used in comparative education & the social sciences in international settings. It includes training in research design (e.g., ethnography, case studies), data collection methods (e.g., semi-structured interviews; observations), & analysis most commonly associated with qualitative research.

Doctoral students in this course will engage in a collective, semester-long project involving the analysis of a qualitative data set. The emphasis is not only to gain in-depth knowledge of an important research methodology, but to provide a more in-depth initiation to working with qualitative data, modifying research designs and research goals, and documenting the research project. This course complements the work done in Qualitative Research in Mathematics Education I, which primarily emphasizes the design of mathematics education qualitative research.

The course is oriented to the unique aspects of doing research in mathematics education. It involves an exploration of the processes of doing qualitative research in mathematics education from development of the research question through writing the research report. The course emphasizes the purpose and interconnectedness of each part of the research process. Particular methodologies are explored and research skills are developed.

This course offers the tools and a practical application of developing a research design for the EdD in Leadership and Innovation. Topics covered include (1) Introduction to qualitative research methods and (2) Research design and developing questions for generating and defending a POP proposal. This course
also builds on topics/themes from the Research Methods course.

This is the second in a sequence of quantitative research methods for Ed.D. in Leadership and Innovation students. This course is for Ed.D. students who are using quantitative methods for their Problem of Practice Capstone Project and have completed Quantitative Methods I

This course offers an intensive walkthrough of a quantitative research method design with an extensive lab component for asynchronous learning. This course is a reduced mini module tailored for the Ed.D. Online students who are considering using quantitative research method for their Capstone Project. Topics covered include (1) Univariate Statistical Inference, (2) Regression, (3) Multiple Linear Regression, and (4) Statistical Models for Causal Analysis.

Course serves as an introduction to the analytic & empirical methodologies employed in contemporary quantitative analyses of international, comparative, & US education. Covering various sub-fields & topics, this course emphasizes a basic understanding of the statistics & theory behind different methods, a thoughtful consumption of literature that uses quantitative methods, & application of common statistical techniques.
