Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The dissertation module is a significant, student self-directed project where the learner is supported by an allocated supervisor for the duration of the research (LO1). Building on previous learning throughout the programme students will be able to evaluate data and ethical considerations relevant to their chosen study (LO2 LO4.) At signposted stages thorough this research journey: research seminars will facilitate engagement re criticality, data analysis, evidence-based arguments to inform policy/practice implications and dissemination of their findings (LO2, LO3, LO5). This facilitated group discussion, will support reflection and reflexivity on the research process. A writers’ workshop will facilitate writing skills for dissemination through publication.
