Introduction to epistemologies, paradigms, and, methodologies in social science research., Students learn about different approaches used in, education research and examine their underlying, assumptions and values. The course addresses and, critiques some of the long-standing traditions in, education and social science research that have, privileged certain values and viewpoints while, marginalizing others. Students will read and, critique a variety of education research articles, and consider how education leaders can use, research for advocacy and transformative social, action.

Education research sits at the intersection of, debates about the philosophy of education, (ontology), the role of education in, (re)producing a pluralistic and free democracy, (critical theories of education) what counts as a, "just" society (critical social theory), what, counts as knowledge production/construction, (critical epistemology and critical research, design), and ultimately what it means to educate, a public for public schools (critical pedagogy)., Therefore, education research focused on any one, of these areas has implications in all of these, areas. For education research focused on problems, of (in)justice, with an interest in solving these, problems, critical theory offers intellectual, traditions and analytic tools. Using these, intellectual tools, students will recognize,, understand, discuss and apply the historical and, current tenants of critical theory to form your, own emerging conceptual framework for explaining, and describing problems of practice in school, leadership and policy, organizing, pedagogy, and, education research.

In this course we will explore education systems, around the globe and the influences of, globalization on education practices.

When participating in a track and field relay
race, it is important that each of the sprinters
speedily covers their portion of the race. Equally
important is the fluidity of transferring
responsibility from one runner to the next, the
critical passing of the baton, or "pasar la
batuta". It is in this moment when all of the
effort given by one runner helps jump start their
teammate in a seamless fashion, or when the work
is abruptly halted because the hand off is faulty.
This critical transfer can define the outcome of
the race. The analogy of "pasar la batuta" well
articulates the responsibility educational leaders
in P-12 and higher education settings have for
fashioning a seamless transition for students to
navigate. As it stands, the movement between
primary and secondary education into postsecondary
education is disjointed. This course will explore
why the transition across the educational pipeline
is choppy, what factors need to be considered in
order to facilitate a smoother move, and the
opportunities for leaders to foster that change.
