1 CSU, FULLERTON Proposal for Review of Published Ed.D. Dissertations October 2011 CSUF began enrolling students in the Ed.D. program in the fall of At this time twenty-five dissertations have been published in ProQuest. We seek doctoral faculty in P-12 Leadership and Community College Leadership specializations from institutions (exclusive of the California State University System) participating in the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) who will conduct an external review of the dissertations. The work will be conducted between November 15, 2011 and January 15, Each reviewer will be sent three dissertations to review and complete an on-line assessment instrument. The assessment will address each dissertation and patterns or trends evident across the various dissertations. Each reviewer will be paid $1,000. upon receipt of the report. Reports must be sent via In order to complete the payment process for CSUF, reviewers will be required to provide an electronic copy of their vita and an invoice form and CSU1 Form which are attached. Attached are copies of our plan for dissertations from the Degree Proposal and rubrics that are used to guide students work.
2 PROPOSAL TO OFFER A DOCTORAL DEGREE IN EDUCATION Revision Spring 2008 DISSERTATIONS The focus of the third academic year of study will be the student s dissertation research and preparation of the dissertation. The conduct and presentation of the dissertation research will conform with the proposal as approved by the Advancement to Candidacy Committee. This culminating work may cover any of a wide range of topics and utilize various research methods. A national study of institutions that started Ed.D. programs as their first doctoral degree addressed the issue of key features of dissertations for this degree: The most common characteristic distinguishing the Ed.D. from the Ph.D. is a locally determined balance of theory and practice, which foregrounds the K-12 practitioner s education for effective educational leadership. 1 A report published in March of 2002 by the National Research Council made a similar point about the nature of educational research: Although education research has its roots in the social and behavior sciences, it is also an applied field. It is an enterprise fundamentally aimed at bringing theoretical understanding to practical problem solving. Like other applied fields, education research serves two related purposes: to add to fundamental understanding of education-related phenomena and events, and to inform practical decision making. 2 Mauch and Park point out that the Ed.D. is designed for training professionals. They state: The person trained in a professional discipline is master of diversified information and concepts that focus on the efficient and effective conduct of some operation, such as teaching. So, it is reasonable to expect that the [theses/dissertations] done in the academic disciplines and the professional disciplines would differ. 3 We agree with Mauch and Park that the primary outcome of an Ed.D. dissertation should be to increase knowledge about a matter relevant to the practice of the profession and to reinforce the attitude of using objective and systematic approaches to problem solving. 4 Further, the value of the dissertation in a professional discipline should be judged based on the potential applications of the results and conclusions in professional practice and 1 Bruckerhoff, C. (2000). National Survey Concerning Implementing the Ed.D. Program for Southern Conn. State University. Chaplin, CT: Curriculum Research and Evaluation. p Shavelson, R. and Towne, L. (Eds.).

3 knowledge. 5 This perspective is consistent with Shulman s 6 view that the Ed.D. should be preparation for practice rather than for a profession in scholarship. All students in the Ed.D. program will complete a rigorous research-based dissertation that integrates theory and research in the study of educational practice. The dissertation will include the results of the candidate s independent research and will typically focus on examination of (a) an educational problem, (b) a practice or program, or (c) an educational policy or reform. Most dissertations will be studies undertaken in the local context, having the potential to contribute to solutions of educational problems. Dissertations will utilize a range of qualitative and quantitative research and evaluation methods. The dissertation will present the results of the candidate s independent investigation in a manner that contributes both to professional knowledge in education and to the improvement of educational practice. Examples might include studies examining and/or evaluating reforms in curriculum and instruction, professional development, assessment, and applications of technology. The primary goal of the Ed.D. dissertation is to generate knowledge that contributes to the understanding of educational practices, policies, or reforms. The Ed.D. dissertation is a significant scholarly work that uses rigorous research methods in the study of educational problems and practices. The dissertation is expected to be based on one or more theoretical frameworks and to include a comprehensive review of relevant literature in which the research question or questions are situated. The dissertation typically involves collection of empirical data, qualitative and/or quantitative analysis of these data, interpretation of the findings, a discussion of their significance and implications, and an indication of important areas for further research. 5 Mauch & Park. p Shulman, L.

The problem statement situates the issue or the problem. The problem statement problem in specific context and discusses situates the problem in a context, but the the background of the problem. context is not fully explained. The background of the problem is discussed minimally. LITERATURE REVIEW METHODOLOGY The literature review clearly delineates how the review of the research literature is directly linked to the research questions. The review identifies the most important theories that will be examined and provides a rationale for the theoretical and/or conceptual frameworks to be used in the study. The review is an integrated, critical analysis of most relevant and current published knowledge on the topic. The review is organized around major ideas or themes. The researcher s interpretation of the literature reviewed is clearly presented. The proposed research design is presented clearly and logically. Literature pertaining to the research epistemology and methodology is thoroughly reviewed and cited with few errors. In text citations are used correctly. Relationships between the research hypotheses or research questions and the selected methodology are discussed without ambiguity. The justification for why the selected methodology is most effective for exploring the research questions and how other methodologies would be less effective is well supported. The self-aware role of the researcher and his or her relationship to the context of the study and the identification of personal biases are reflexively detailed. The literature review somewhat delineates how the review of related research is linked to the research questions. The review identifies a few theories that will be examined and somewhat substantiates the rationale for the theoretical and/or conceptual frameworks to be used in the study. The review is a summary of articles published on the topic, but is not a critical analysis of the most relevant and current published knowledge on the topic. The review requires expansion and re-organization around major ideas or themes. The researcher s interpretation of the literature is minimally evident. The proposed research design is presented. Literature pertaining to the research epistemology and methodology is thoroughly reviewed and cited but contains errors. Some in text citations are used. Relationships between the research hypotheses or research questions and the selected methodology are discussed minimally. The justification for why the selected methodology is most effective is somewhat supported. The self-aware role of the researcher and his or her relationship to the context of the study and the identification of personal biases are relatively detailed. The literature review does not link the research question to the scholarly literature; there is a disconnect between the research questions and the literature reviewed. The review does not identify the most important aspects of the theory that will be examined or substantiate the rationale for the theoretical and/or conceptual frameworks for the study. The review presents a few peer reviewed articles published on the topic or unrelated to the topic. The articles are not critically analyzed or integrated into themes. The review requires substantial expansion and re-organization around major ideas or themes. The researcher s interpretation of the literature is minimally evident or missing. Sections of the proposed research design are presented. A few articles pertaining the research epistemology and methodology are reviewed and cited with several errors or in text citations are used incorrectly. Relationships between the research hypotheses or research questions and the selected methodology are not discussed. A justification for why the selected is most important was not well supported or discussed. The self-aware role of the researcher and his or her relationship to the context of the study and the identification of personal biases are not detailed
5 POTENTIAL FOR CONTRIBUTION Above Standards Approaching Standards Below Standards There is substantive evidence that the educational leadership research problem is significant and worthy of sustained, systematic study. Inquiry into this problem has definite potential for contributing to the literature and for solving problems of practice. There is a reasonable argument that the educational leadership research problem is significant and worthy of sustained, systematic study. Inquiry into this problem has definite potential for contributing to the literature and for solving problems of practice. Little justification has been made to indicate that the problem will contribute to the literature or to solving problems of educational leadership practice. SUPPORT FOR THE PROPOSITION EVIDENCE AND EXAMPLES SEQUENCING The proposal reflects a well informed perspective about the educational leadership research problem grounded in the research literature and/or in empirical data analyses. Some evidence such a research studies, demographic data, empirical data, facts, statistics, examples, and real-life examples are incorporated to support the author s argument for conducting the study. The reader s reactions are anticipated and addressed effectively. All of the citations from the literature, from empirical studies, and from other empirical sources lend support to the author s proposed study. The appendix is complete and includes research instruments, documents related to the study, consent forms, IRB documents. The proposal is written logically and coherently using the appropriate sequencing and organization.
