Research project in education

This unit extends the work done in EDF5613 and provides support for you to develop, carry out and write up a short research project in education, or a related discipline. During the course, group supervision (working together with an experienced supervisor) will be arranged and you will undertake a small-scale research project of up to 10,000 words. The scope of research topics will depend on available teaching staff. Unit staff will guide you through the development, implementation, data collection, and writing up of your project. Through the research project, you are required to demonstrate competence in understanding and conducting research in a field of study. This will be guided by methodological interests identified in EDF5613 (e.g. survey, case study, discourse analysis, narrative inquiry, practitioner research).
