的艾德.D. program is designed to support interaction and learning among students and faculty by incorporating an accommodative learning environment that incorporates within the design both blended or fully online instructional delivery systems, “翻转式”学习课程, 修改队列成员和战略分组, specialization-related作业, 个人学习计划, 研究基准, 还有教育旅行.


适应性学习环境

The program provides students the option to attend courses within a blended or fully online instructional delivery system. 混合选项利用面对面, on-campus learning sessions (one Saturday per term); real-time, online video conferencing; and self-paced learning modules. This option is recommended for those students who live in close proximity to our Irvine campus. The fully online option is offered to students who are unable to travel to our campus and is delivered through real-time, synchronous learning sessions and 24/7 asynchronous modules.

The schedule above applies to 9-10 terms of the 16-term program (approximately 1 ½ years of coursework and 1 ½ years of dissertation research/writing. Students will meet one-on-one with their Chairs during the dissertation track (approximately 6-7 terms of the program).

翻转式学习课程

The program utilizes a “flipped” classroom, instructional approach to learning. As such, each student is expected to complete assignments (i.e., video lessons, assigned readings, critiques of scholarly articles, etc.) in preparation to engage in discussions or activities with fellow cohort members and their instructor during real-time learning sessions and discussion board posts. Learning session activities vary and promote a learner-centered model that engages students in active learning, 高度差异化教学, 协作, 高阶思维和解决问题的能力.

修改队列成员和战略分组

Another strength of our doctoral program is to utilize a modified cohort membership model where students progress through the program together while making a few adjustments to student schedules for their respective Specialization. In effect, this intentional and strategic grouping of students promotes:

  • 跨学科学习和创新思维.
  • Opportunities for students to support and learn from one another in groups.
  • Development of personal relationships and building of professional networks.
  • Raising expectations among groups that all students will complete the program successfully.

用于核心课程和研究课程, groups are represented from each Specialization while groups for specialization courses consist exclusively of experienced professionals within the respective field of study. 实际上,注册以下课程的学生:

  • The same cohort launch and same Specialization will attend 10 courses together.
  • The same cohort launch but different Specialization will attend 7 courses together.

个人学习计划(ILPs)

个人学习计划(ILPs)是自主学习的, learning plans that help doctoral students master progressively more advanced research concepts, 方法和技巧, as they move through the series of dissertation seminars. The ILP oral report provides each student the opportunity to share information with the instructor on what the student has learned and what next steps to take in the integrated dissertation track process.

These reports allow students to interact with their instructors as they progress through the series of dissertation seminars and advisement. 这个想法是,一旦学生取得成功, they exhibit increased confidence to tackle increasingly difficult research-related concepts, 方法和技巧. 随着对每一步的掌握, it will become much easier for students to undertake the challenges of conducting and completing dissertation research, 这需要掌握研究方法和技巧.

研究基准

Research benchmarks—which are integrated across the curriculum—ensure that students have an appropriate foundation to build upon concepts, 理论, and research in preparation for dissertation research and for use in learning organizations.
