Overview
Enrolment in a master's by research degree involves the independent investigation of a research problem that has been formulated by you as the student. It is expected that the research you undertake will make a contribution to the discipline in which you are enrolled by applying, critiquing, analysing or interpreting that knowledge in ways that facilitate pathways for further learning. You will be supported in your research by a supervisory team.
The coursework component in this course comprises a research methods unit and an elective unit which consolidates your familiarity with research in education and develops your understanding of core concepts that may be incorporated into your research. In the research unit, you deepen your appreciation of research and the ethical implications of research decisions and consider how the elements of research design work together for robust outcomes. In the elective unit, you engage with key ideas and concepts in a particular area that may be incorporated into your research project.
