PHASE I - The PROPOSAL*
Upon completion of Phase I of this course, the student is
expected to have:
used the Nova Southeastern University (NSU) Graduate Teacher
Education Program (GTEP) applied research model in collaboration
with an on-site administrator/verifier and an assigned NSU
project advisor/coach to identify a work-related improvement
project that addresses his/her chosen specialization area..
collected statistical data to document the problem with
a specified target group, reviewed current relevant professional
literature on theory and practice related to the problem,
proposed a solution to be implemented with the specified
target group(s) and written and submitted a completed proposal
to the assigned NSU project advisor/coach for approval prior
to implementation.
*(3 cr.) The project advisor/coach will evaluate and approve
the completed proposal using the Proposal Evaluation form
and grant subsequent permission for implementation to begin.
* (6 cr.) The project advisor/coach will evaluate and approve
the completed proposal using the Proposal Evaluation formand
will grant subsequent permission for implementation to begin.
The Office of Applied Field Experiences official reader will
provide a narrative critique of the proposal with recommendations
for changes required prior to implementationor in the final
report.
PHASE II - The IMPLEMENTATION
Upon completion of Phase II of this course, the student is
expected to have:
conducted implementation of the planned intervention project
for a specified period with the approval of the project
advisor/coach and with observation by the on-site administrator/verifier,
addressed all stated objectives during implementation,
and kept a log of all activities to monitor, refine, and
evaluate progress independently, using proposed evaluation
tools.
PHASE III - The FINAL
REPORT*
Upon completion of Phase III of this course, the student is
expected to have:
prepared and submitted a final report with advice of the
project advisor/coach and based upon the proposal that includes
data collected during implementation;
reported on the results of posttesting with scores provided
for each member of the target group; made recommendations
for ongoing use of the project, and provided advice for
those wishing to replicate the project.
*(3 cr.) The project administrator/coach will evaluate the
final product that includes results and rate the project using
the Report Evaluation form.
The administrator/verifier will provide a brief narrative
on the Project Verification form regarding the impact of implementation
upon the target group.
*(6 cr.) The project advisor/coach will evaluate
the final report and rate the project using the Report Evaluation.
The 5-point Likert scale instrument provides for evaluation
of preparation of the documents as well as for implementation.
A grade of "Pass" or "Fail" will be assigned
by the Applied Field Experience Office faculty after reviewing
the final report and related documents.
The administrator/verifier will
provide a brief narrative on the Project Verification form
regarding the impact of implementation upon the target group.
