When I found out that I would be taking an educational research class I was nervous and not too excited. I thought that we were going to do nothing but research, research, and more research. I've never enjoyed researching and was dreading the thought of spending a semester doing it. This course taught me where to find scholarly articles and the different types of research. Prior to this course I could not tell you either of those things. Although I did not love reading the articles and anaylzing articles, I am glad that I can properly analyze an article. I also now know how to use an article in my favor to prove a point.
Through the course I had the opportunity to plan my capstone and write my capstone proposal. Wring the capstone was a difficult task for me. I had a hard time narrowing down an idea and figuring out how the project would flow. Dr. Dias was extremely helpful with helping me organize and narrow downy thoughts. Instead of throwing the proposal assignment at us, she coached us through the proposal step by step in sections. She gave valuable feedback and I believe that I will have an amazing project thanks to her assistance.
Observing how Dr. Dias assisted and coached me through my capstone proposal helped me see the importance of taking others step by step through what they find new and difficult when becoming a technology coach. Dr. Dias made preparing my capstone idea and proposal seem easier and more doable than I believed it could be just by the way she interacted with me and coached me through. I feel that having this skill is one of the most important skills when becoming a technology coach.
