PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Research and Measurement concentration offers specializations in measurement, program evaluation, qualitative research methods, and statistics. Measurement provides students with fundamentals necessary for the development of applied and theoretical research, including the construction of assessment instruments, evaluation of instrument performance, exploration of outcomes, and tools for application and presentation. Modern (Rasch), classical (Thurstone) and traditional measurement techniques are included. Program evaluation concentrates on performance assessment and qualitative and quasi-experimental designs related to the evaluation of educational programs. Qualitative Research provides students with fundamental methods of participant-observation, field notes, interviewing, and transcription, and models of qualitative research, including managing, analyzing and interpreting data. Statistics provides instruction in traditional statistical methods, research design, and applications. Specialization in advanced statistical analysis is offered including techniques related to hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), structural equation modeling (SEM), meta-analysis, survey research, and non-parametric statistical methods.
