This is an advanced methods course that covers all aspects of naturalistic data collection methods with children. It is designed for graduate students focusing on research with special and vulnerable children – infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and elementary children and their families. International component included. Research methods are home and community based, not school based. Course includes hands-on completion of fieldwork with specialized children as final assignment.

This course focuses on how to analyze and report qualitative data analysis from various disciplinary perspectives; students focus on analyzing and writing up data from their own studies. Pre-requisites: second-year doctoral standing; one course in statistics/quantitative research; EDPSY 586 or equivalent; and permission of instructor. This is part of an intensive 3-quarter series that spans the academic year (students may opt into the whole sequence, or just take this as stand alone — see EDPSY 586).

Pre-requisites: second-year doctoral standing; one course in statistics/quantitative research; EDPSY 586; and permission of instructor. This is part of an intensive 3-quarter series that spans the academic year.

This course introduces students to several traditions of qualitative inquiry, with emphasis on students' design of rigorous qualitative studies. Pre-requisites: second-year doctoral standing; one course in statistics/quantitative research; and permission of instructor. This is part of an intensive 3-quarter series that spans the academic year (students may opt into the whole sequence, or just take this as stand alone — see EDPSY 587).

This course is designed to provide a basic overview of qualitative research methods.

Sociolinguistics is the study of language in its social context and the study of social life through language.

Conceptual/philosophical methods course. The idea that human beings can scientifically interpret how other human beings understand their life-experience has fascinated philosophers in the west sine the 19th century. Interpretive research interests philosophers, because it “pushes” traditional philosophical conceptions about scientific knowledge, methodology, self-understanding, and ethics. At the same time, researchers who undertake interpretive fieldwork often find themselves pondering classic philosophical questions. How do we interpret what we see?

This course covers test reliability and validity, score interpretation, test administration, and issues/ethics in testing. Pre-requisites: EDPSY 490 or equivalent. Recommended for undergraduates needing QSR credits and software experience, as well as graduate students who are strongly affiliated with qualitative methods and/or who are unable to take the more intensive EDPSY 592 course.

This course covers widely used ANOVA and regression techniques, and includes applied data analysis with SPSS software as well as applied readings in social science research. Pre-requisites: EDPSY 490 or equivalent. Recommended for undergraduates needing QSR credits and software experience, as well as graduate students who are strongly affiliated with qualitative methods and/or who are unable to take the more intensive EDPSY 593/594 courses.

This course covers the foundational language and concepts in educational statistics, including measurement scales, sampling distributions, 2-group t/z/chi-square tests, and introduction to one-factor ANOVA and simple regression. Pre-requisites: proficiency in basic algebra. Open to all UW and non-matriculated students with at least a sophomore undergraduate standing.
