Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Working in groups, students will be given an opportunity to reflect early in the module, on the appropriateness of different research strategies and designs allowing for frequent formative assessment from tutor and peers. This is in addition to the provision of online self-assessment questions, with diagnostic feedback (LO1-6). Relevant knowledge and skills are developed through a mix of student-led discussion groups, case studies, self-completion questionnaires and short lectures combined in the form of practical workshops . These are structured to develop in students an active approach to study and the capacity for independent learning and reflective practice and to meet CIPD professional requirements. Students will be provided with a Student Study Guide to complement reference to research methods texts and will be formally assessment as follows: a) Plan and design a work-based project in the form of an individual project proposal (1,800 words) (LO 1). b) Conduct a statistical analysis of data and communicate findings in the form of a two page summary report and 15 minute group presentation made to peer groups/tutors (LO2)c) Completion of a management research reports (7,000 words) or a scoping study (7,000 worrds written in the form of a management report) which will form a part of a masters project, and provide a reflective review of learning gained (LO 3,4,5).Students are allocated a supervisor early on in the module. This alllows one-to-one interactions in which they are provided with guidance and support in enhancing their literature review, collecting research data, analysing research data and presenting practical conclusions and recommendations.research/ teaching linkages;All supervisors undertake scholarly activity and/or research in the area of HRM. Texts, directed readings and workshop activities are underpinned by relevant research and students are encouraged, through a variety of activities, to reflect on the relevance of this researc

Formative assessment will take the form of an in-class review and discussion of each assessment brief and criteria, with the opportunity for students to gain feedback on their ideas and assessment plans throughout the module. There will be time devoted to this in class but also supplementary surgery and drop-in sessions every second week allows students to discuss issues with the module leader individually or in groups and obtain formative feedback. Formative assessment and feedback can also be obtained by submitting drafts of each assessment to the students' individual supervisor for review and feedback allowing improvements to be made and strengths to be further developed.

Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOsLO1-5 Practical research workshops, developing relevant knowledge and skills, are delivered across two trimesters (two workshops per trimester). You will be given an opportunity to utilise, discuss and reflect on different research strategies, methods and data analysis techniques. These workshops will make use of lecture input, case studies of research projects, small and large group discussions, and practice of research methods/data analysis tools. You are given a recommended reading list and expected to use the sources as appropriate. Your learning is also supported via WebCT through the provision of online materials and self-assessment questions, with diagnostic feedback (LO1-5). The module includes the allocation of a supervisor to each indivdual student- this supervisor assists you with the development of your specific research project and will meet with you on a regular basis. Optional research surgery sessions are also offered. This module provides you with an opportunity to develop skills in HR/business leadership. These will be assessed as part of ongoing module activities, and through a reflective report. In addition, you will receive formative feedback from peers and tutors to assist with your ongoing personal and professional development. Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skillsLO1-5 This module provides you with an opportunity to develop advanced skills in HR/business leadership which can be applied to undertaking practice-based research. These skills include the following: qualitative and quantitative research methods application; project management and consulting skills; accessing and evaluating published research evidence; critical thinking; developing and justifying original arguments; referencing the work of others; enhanced IT proficiency through use of statistical techniques and the presentation of statistical data. You will be engaging in group discussions/debate

You will be formally assessed as follows:a) Plan and design a work-based project in the form of an individual project proposal (2,000 words) (LO 1). b) Conduct a statistical analysis of data and communicate findings in the form of a summary report (2,000 words, group assessment) (LO2&5).c) Completion of a management research report (7,000 words) or a scoping study (7,000 words) which will form a part of a masters project, and provide a reflective review of learning gained (LO 3,4,5).The final summative assessment (assessment c above) will include the completion of a reflective report with reference to skills acquisition and reflection on the development of these across the module.

The LTA strategy will be supported by Moodle which will provide direct access for students to the University’s Virtual Learning Environment and Information services. The module team will provide all lecture materials and reading in advance of each class and will supplement this material on Moodle with videos, weblinks, copies of articles and reports. All important module issues will communicated in class or via Moodle announcement.
