My Growth As a student and a person. Jeffrey Shrewsbury Portfolio Presentation July 25th, 2018
There are two reasons why I want to earn a doctorate. I am curious and I want to participate in life s debates. I want to do good, everyone deserves a fair shot at making the most of themselves. Marshall has prepared me for both.
Curiosity-Research LS-703 Research-was the first class I took in the program; American Psychological Association Handbook (APA), 6th Edition; EDF-711 Survey Research ; Statistics EDF-517, (PSYC 652 Advanced Regression, PSYC 653 Multivariate Statistics); CIEC -700 Technology with Dr. Heaton; EDF-625 Qualitative Research, EDF 620 Mixed Methods, EDF-725 Advanced Qualitative.
Curiosity-Policy CI- 627 Program Plan & Evaluation; LS -714 Higher Ed Admin. I realized I loved to research policy.
Curiosity- Curriculum CI -702 Curriculum Theories class with Dr. Campbell- First CI class; CI -703 Theory Models Dr. Childress; CI -704 -Social Cultural, Political, Determinants with Dr. Debela; CI-705 - Higher Education Curriculum with Dr. Campbell. I wanted to know the big secret to teaching.
Curiosity -Writing The Book on Writing Well; CI-677- Writing for Publication with Dr. Campbell Good writing is the basis for everything in research.
Doing Good I want to do positive work that helps people; Qualitative studies help me connect to people ( so you can do good); I went from strictly quantitative to believing in qualitative too; I recognized my bias, I realized I can be very biased; I recognized the need for collaboration-it helps reduce bias.
Im ready to start a dissertation I talked to a teacher that preferred to teach boys- I saw a possible problem; Who encourages children to seek higher education; Is it internal drive or something in society that gets kids in school; I want to now specifics, not generalizations. I would like to complete a mixed methods study Use a survey tool with variables such as sex, choices of people that encourage, family income, parents marital status, race, etc. using multivariate regression; Interview students using qualitative techniques; Use colleges across the state- Concord, Marshall, WV State, Bluefield State, etc.
The End Thank you!
