Consider how a researcher decides to investigate a problem in the field of education. As a researcher, one of your first decisions will be to decide whether to do a project study or a dissertation. For this Discussion, you will compare these two options. Note: For the EdD, you have the option to write either a project study or a dissertation. The term “doctoral study” is the generic term for the EdD capstone, so it applies to both the project study and dissertation. To Prepare Review the Learning Resources. Review the checklists for a project study and a dissertation in your Learning Resources. Review the checklists, and consider the purpose of each. Explain how the project study and dissertation are similar and how they differ. To Complete For this Discussion: Use the checklists to identify and describe two of the differences between the project study and dissertation. Explain how these differences result in different types of studies. Describe why you might select each one. For this, and for all work in this course, use APA form and scholarly tone to support your position. Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.
