Assignment: Identify a Problem

 Instructions

For several assignments during this course, you will use a problem statement that you develop to learn course concepts. So, first, you need to develop this problem statement. For this assignment, you need to think of a problem and briefly describe the problem (in one paragraph). What is a problem in education that you want to gain insight into? Start with one concise sentence of the problem and make sure it is stated as a problem (e.g., many students live at or below poverty level). Then briefly describe why experts in the field think it is a problem (support with at least two empirical studies that have found evidence of this problem).

Summary: All you need to do right now is: 1) think of a problem, 2) discuss why it is a problem, and 3) determine how you can use inquiry to help you.
