Request for Conducting Research
Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Public Schools (ECPPS) is a district that values learning and educational success for all. Research projects done in partnership with universities, organizations, and/or individuals provide valuable data that can contribute to continued educational growth for all involved parties. There are three ways that one can partner with ECPPS to conduct research to include:
-
External Research: Universities, organizations, or individuals conducting their own independent research IN ECPPS.
-
External researchers are either not employed by ECPPS or are employed by ECPPS and conducting independent research as part of an academic requirement (e.g., graduate degree).
-
Includes a study of school and/or district which requires some assistance from ECPPS staff at central office or schools to aid in: original data collection; preparation of data files; coordinating between researchers and ECPPS study participants; and/or, providing approved relevant content to the study.
-
-
Research Collaborations: Universities, organizations, or individuals collaborating WITH ECPPS staff to conduct research in a joint effort.
-
Both ECPPS and the collaborating partner have a joint interest that they will investigate together.
-
At least one external partner and at least one ECPPS member will partner to investigate the joint interest with all parts of the study being shared including and not limited to: data collection, data analysis, and data reporting.
-
-
Action Research: University students (graduate or undergraduate) conducting research that is required by their university to fulfill academic requirements.
-
Often conducted by an individual to improve his/her practice.
-
Can be completed by individuals, a small group, and/or a staff.
-
