This course will review the foundations of learning and learning processes. Short- and long-term memory acquisition and retrieval, theories of learning, maximization of learning and associated strategies, as well as the role of motivation and social factors, will be covered. At the conclusion of this course, students will have acquired an understanding of how to maximize the learning potential of all students across the developmental spectrum.

Lecture

This course builds on the knowledge and skills introduced in SPSY 783 and SPSY 784 and expands knowledge about categorical analysis, factor analysis, MANOVA, and structural equation modeling, and the type of research designs that are appropriate for these analytic approaches.

Lecture

This course will be the culmination of the qualifying process. The Qualifying Paper that students will have been working on all year will be completed and defended. The nature of this defense will be agreed upon by the student and Program Director. Possibilities for this will include an oral defense to a committee, a lecture on the topic in a scheduled class, or the production of an online taped presentation.

Lecture

The purpose of this course is to promote student knowledge of and support during the dissertation process. Students will meet for class, as well as individually with dissertation committee members, in order to facilitate the completion of all the steps leading to the proposal and final approval of the dissertation.

After completion of SPED 791 Dissertation Seminar, students continue to work on the completion of their doctoral dissertation and meet with committee members to complete all the steps through final approval. Students register for this course each and every term until they have successfully defended their final doctoral dissertation.

Doctoral students who have successfully defended their dissertations will register for this course until all edits are made to the satisfaction of their dissertation chairs/committees and the final documents are submitted for binding.
