Description:
The aim of this course is to provide a platform for comprehensive and critical discussion of the issues of curriculum and instruction in the experience of students working in the field of higher education.
This course introduces the design of action research for students with a focus on issues of higher education. Scheduled at the end of the two-year M.Ed. program, it aims to integrate previous learning in Masters cohort with students’ understanding of their own educational practice. As a central part of the course, each student will design and carry out a small action research project in an educational setting of their choosing.

Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
