Learning Strategies

Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Leadership

The Ed.D. 该项目旨在支持学生和教师之间的互动和学习，通过结合一个适应性的学习环境，在设计中结合了混合或完全在线的教学交付系统, “flipped” learning sessions, modified cohort memberships and strategic groupings, specialization-related assignments, individual learning plans, research benchmarks, and educational trips.

Accommodative Learning Environments

该计划为学生提供了在混合或完全在线教学系统中参加课程的选择. The blended option utilizes face-to-face, on-campus learning sessions (one Saturday per term); real-time, online video conferencing; and self-paced learning modules. 建议住在欧文校区附近的学生选择这个选项. 完全在线的选择是提供给那些无法前往我们校园的学生，并通过实时交付, 同步学习课程和24/7异步模块.

Typical 7-Week Schedule for Ed.D. Courses
Week	Learning Modality	Day of Week
1	Blended: Face-to-face, On-campus Fully Online: Synchronous Conference Call	Blended: Saturday Fully Online: Saturday
2	Synchronous Conference Call	*Tuesday or Thursday Evening
3	Synchronous Conference Call	*Tuesday or Thursday Evening
4	Asynchronous Module	24/7
5	Synchronous Conference Call	*Tuesday or Thursday Evening
6	Synchronous Conference Call	*Tuesday or Thursday Evening
7	Synchronous Conference Call	*星期二或星期四晚上(学期于第七周的星期五结束)

*Cohorts meet on either Tuesday or Thursday evenings, 取决于课程开始日期(3月开始于周二，8月开始于周四). 上述时间表适用于16学期计划的9-10学期(大约1年半的课程作业和1年半的论文研究/写作). 学生将在论文课程中与他们的主席一对一会面(大约6-7个学期).

“Flipped” Learning Sessions

该项目采用“翻转”课堂教学方法进行学习. 因此，每个学生都应该完成作业(1).e.、视频课程、指定阅读材料、学术文章评论等.)，准备在实时学习课程和讨论板帖子中与同组成员及其导师进行讨论或活动. 学习会议活动多种多样，促进以学习者为中心的模式，使学生积极学习, highly differentiated instruction, collaboration, higher-order thinking and problem-solving.

Modified Cohort Membership and Strategic Groupings

Ed.D. Cohort Graduates, Spring 2020

我们博士课程的另一个优势是利用改进的队列会员模式，学生们一起完成课程，同时对各自专业的学生时间表进行一些调整. 实际上，这种有意和战略性的学生分组促进了:

Interdisciplinary learning and innovative thinking.
学生有机会在小组中相互支持和学习.
发展个人关系，建立专业网络.
提高团体对所有学生都能顺利完成课程的期望.

For core and research courses, 小组由每个专业代表组成，而专业课程小组完全由各自研究领域内经验丰富的专业人士组成. In effect, students who enroll in:

同一队列启动和同一专业将一起参加10门课程.
不同专业的同组学员将同时参加7门课程.

Individual Learning Plans (ILPs)

Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) are self-paced, 帮助博士生逐步掌握更先进的研究概念的学习计划, methods and skills, 当他们通过一系列的论文研讨会. ILP口头报告为每个学生提供了与教师分享信息的机会，让他们了解学生所学到的知识以及在综合论文跟踪过程中下一步要采取的措施.

这些报告允许学生与他们的教师互动，因为他们通过一系列的论文研讨会和建议的进展. The idea is that once students have achieved success, 他们在解决日益困难的研究相关概念方面表现出更大的信心, methods and skills. With mastery of each successive step, 这将变得更容易为学生承担进行和完成论文研究的挑战, which requires mastery of research methods and skills.

Research Benchmarks

研究基准-这是整个课程整合-确保学生有一个适当的基础，以建立在概念, theories, 为论文研究和学习型组织的研究做准备.
