Carefully review the Grading RubricLinks to an external site. for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
The purpose of the Capstone 1: Educational Research Proposal and Final Project is for students to demonstrate the learning achieved in the course by a real-world application of assessing the content and process of action research and evidence-based practice in education. For your final project, you will complete a review of a research study and create your own action research proposal. To do this, you will synthesize your own personal and professional experiences, current research, and the knowledge learned throughout this course. Note, you will not be conducting the actual study, as you have not completed the full UAGC IRB process. If you have questions about the assignment or the rubric, please contact your instructor before the due date.
