Module Overview:
This module is delivered as part of a fully Online Programme. It will provide a grounding in policy and research for educational professionals with an interest in developing their understanding of an aspect around a current issue in education.
Students conduct secondary (desktop) research for this module. There are currently no mechanisms in place for ethical approval to conduct primary research for this module. Students should contact contact the module tutor or programme leader with any queries about the appropriateness of their research proposal. The 7506MALED Educational Research module is designed to equip students with an understanding of the broad context of educational research and prepare them to conduct appropriate research, both as part of this module and for future postgraduate research (e.g. doctoral studies).

Additional Information:
The module is a core activity for all students and provides a grounding in theory, research and practice. It provides an opportunity for students to carry out a piece of in-depth research - including the option of a library-based / desktop study, negotiated with individual supervisors and of relevance to the educational context. This will be largely independent, but with regular individual support from an assigned supervisor.
Note: this module is shared between the MA Leadership in Education and MA Education programmes.
