For more than 10 years, College of Education Associate Professor of Special Education Robert Ives has facilitated the Research in Romania summer w88 live casino, in connection with University Extended Studies, bringing graduate or soon-to-be graduate students along to learn first-hand the application of academic and research methods. A Fulbright Fellow in Romania in 2008, Ives has teaching, research and service ties with professional colleagues and students in Romania and the U.S.
The four-week w88 live casino was co-founded and is co-directed by Ives and Kathy Obenchain, a former College of Education professor now at Purdue University. Ives' focus is on quantitative and mixed research methods, assessment and students who struggle in mathematics. Obenchain is an assistant professor in social studies education, focusing on qualitative research methods and democratic citizenship education, with an emphasis in developing democracies. Both their research focuses on understanding how the country's end of communism in 1989 and acceptance into the European Union in 2007 relate to Romanian society and the educational system today.
Participating students enroll in EDRS 700 - Introduction to Educational w88 live casino, and EDRS 752 - Qualitative w88 live casino in Education. EDRS 700 is required of all graduate students in the College of Education. EDRS 752 is required of all doctoral students in the College. More advanced students have other course options.
"This trip offers students the opportunity to complete field experience in empirical-based w88 live casino," Ives said. "Students get an opportunity to practice doing w88 live casino and learn whether or not it is something that relates to them and their passion." Based in Cluj-Napoca, w88 live casino in Romania participants immerse themselves in cultural experiences while studying mixed-methods w88 live casino appropriate for the social sciences, education and history.
"Some of the best benefits from this trip were the little interactions everyday - from using new words to get around, learning new lessons to use in the classroom, or working on statisticswith my University classmatesin a foreign setting," Marti Deyo, doctoral student in educational leadership and recent w88 live casino in Romania participant, said. "Wewere able to directly apply what we learned from a textbookin an international classroom- opening our mind and our hearts to new people, places, experiences, and adventures."
