Trend analysis often using statistical methods. However, for this class, you will use a qualitative approach to analysis.
Once you identify a trend, and using the readings and resources presented in the course so far, your analysis should:
Identify the most relevant literature discussing the trend, with an emphasis on empirical, theoretical, and policy literature.
Identify and discuss patterns in the trend’s development and evolution.
Construct a timeline of the trend’s development and evolution.

It is important that you thoughtfully assess where you fit into the big picture of educational trends and curriculum and instruction and write your analysis from that angle.
