This course offers an overview of creative qualitative research design and methods relevant to the field of art education. In this course, students will be introduced to essential tools used in the research process. The modules include an overview of fundamental research terminology, and help students gain familiarity with the methods and ethics involved in conducting research. Students will examine their positionality as researchers and learn how issues of validity, subjectivity, and positionality impact their research. Important topics will be examined through readings, presentations, live classrooms, online discussions, and written assignments, culminating with a mini research proposal. Although this is not a required course, it is highly recommended and will be very useful to students preparing to take their Capstone Research Project course.
