Unit Description

Engages students in reflective enquiry through structured lecturer commentary. Students explore and analyse the nature of educational research, its purposes, processes and outcomes, from various perspectives, e.g. positivistic, interpretive and critical. Criteria for assessing quality research will be addressed, including ethical considerations. Action research styles are interpreted within the context of the overall educational research landscape. Critical interpretation of educational research is a focus; the teacher as researcher is also carefully examined.
