Additional Information:This module is complete in semester 2. This module provides students an opportunity to apply the taught and guided learning knowledge and skills to prepare a comprehensive research proposal relevant to a undergraduate level physical education. The module will include guided learning through fundamental elements of qualitative and quantitative research design, research methods and ethics procedures. Students will develop systematic literature review skills and further develop academic writing skills through small-group tutorials. Students will engage with research supervisors throughout the module to develop their research proposal. Students’ knowledge and skills will be assessed through completion of individual assignments (i.e. independent study tasks and small-group practical activities). Students are presented with opportunities to gain peer and lecturer formative feedback on their assessment within small group seminar sessions and individual tutor meetings that take place throughout the module.
