OCTH 788 - Research Problems/Projects

1 cr

Description Independent research problems/ projects that lead to research or design paper, but not to a thesis. The plan of study is negotiated by the faculty member and the candidate. Contact between the two may be extensive and intensive. Students apply general concepts of evidence-based practice and skills in research design and methodology gained in earlier courses (OCTH 780, OCTH 781, OCTH 783, and OCTH 784) to revise their literature review, collect and analyze research/program data, and disseminate the results. Through participation in student-faculty groups and journal clubs, students become members of a community of scholars, contribute to the body of knowledge of the profession, and develop skills for life-long learning. Consistent with a constructivist perspective, students work collaboratively with other members of their project team, including the faculty advisor, to prepare a manuscript suitable for publication or other form of dissemination.
