Description
The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) defines a
Problem of Practice as "a persistent, contextualized, and specific
issue embedded in the work of a professional practitioner, the
addressing of which has the potential to result in improved
understanding, experience, and outcomes" (Storey & Maughan, 2014,
p 10). Applying inquiry, research, and discussion, the student will
understand and define the Problem of Practice, upon which the
Dissertation in Practice will be built. Based on self-awareness, a
desire to address the needs of others, the context of the problem,
an analysis between the current and preferred condition, and his or
her own leadership background, each student will frame the Problem
of Practice using a four-stage process: 1. Is the problem authentic;
2. Is the problem relevant; 3. Is the problem researchable; and 4.
How will the problem be articulated? Prerequisite: Admittance into
the Ed.D program. (3 s.h.)
