EDCE 7802C Literacy Research Seminar II

The second of a four semester course designed to support candidates in conceptualizing a research project around literacy learning and teaching. In this second semester, the focus is on the teacher as researcher and writer who develops expertise in a certain area of the literature, discovers the silences and gaps in the present literature, and who chooses a theoretical framework. Candidates will develop further skills in critiquing and analyzing research and will design a literature review in which they bring together major voices, concepts, and contributions in their chosen literacy area.
