This comprehensive course involves participants in a synthesis of the results of the previous research courses (MAT 510 and MAT 543) and prepares them to present their findings to educational colleagues and community members. Participants in this capstone seminar will describe the action research project undertaken during the master’s program, including reasons for undertaking the research topics, details of the action research design, outcomes of the research, analysis of the data, conclusions drawn, strategies for implementing the research outcomes (if appropriate), and suggestions for next steps in the research. Professional growth, communication strategies, and technological facility permeate the course.
