Aims

To Display a critical understanding of complex and specialised research knowledge and skills through the development of research proposals that demonstrate a) the potential for the creation of new knowledge at the forefront of their academic discipline or their area of professional practice b) the use of appropriate techniques/methodologies in their research.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Students will engage with the principles, theory and practice of: planning, project management, application of theory to practice, research design, data analysis techniques, critical approaches to research and knowledge problems, ethical approaches in professional practice and research, developing a learning agreement, problem solving through action learning strategies and processes, research impact and dissemination.
Module Overview:
To display a critical understanding of complex and specialised research knowledge and skills through the development of research proposals that demonstrate a) the potential for the creation of new knowledge at the forefront of their academic discipline or their area of professional practice b) the use of appropriate techniques/methodologies in their research.
Additional Information:This module is designed to equip students with the skills and confidence to develop and complete a detailed research proposal for a substantial research project. On completion of the module students will be able to produce: aims, objectives, research questions, literature reviews, critical responses to methodology, methods, data collection and analysis for work at level 8. Underpinning the research proposal will be an identification of how the research will contribute to knowledge and/or professional practice. In addition, students will be able to produce a learning agreement that allows them to provide a reflective account of their learning, identification of any barriers, identification of any support mechanisms needed, expectations about the supervisory relationship, identification of research development skills, and an action plan.
