Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module will be delivered using a blended learning approach via Moodle. The use of Moodle gives greater flexibility so you can choose to learn at a time and pace that suits you. There are 5 learning units that are aligned to the learning outcomes and delivered over a 10 week period. You are encouraged to undertake online activities embedded within the learning units including: development of critical appraisal skills (LOs 1-2); ability to demonstrate critical understanding of a broad range of research methodologies (LOs 3-4); and the use of analytical reasoning to ensure rigorous, safe and ethical research (LOs 3-5). You are invited to participate in five online non-assessed peer discussions (LOs 1-5), in order to build theoretical, methodological and research skills. Throughout the module you will be encouraged to develop your scientific writing skills in preparation for the summative assessments (LOs 1-5). Tutorials will provide you with the opportunity to get together in small groups to enhance overall learning of the module materials.

You are asked to submit an informative scientific abstract (500 words maximum) and a draft section of your literature review (500 words maximum). The abstract will be submitted to a Moodle workshop to enable the abstract to receive self/peer/tutor feedback using a structured feedback sheet (week 40). This formative component will feed-forward to help build and develop the final abstract and outline research proposal. You will have an opportunity to update and publish their final abstract in the conference proceedings book in Moodle based on feedback in weeks 43-44. This process will enable you to interact with each other and will provide an overview of different research questions, approaches and fields of practice. The draft section of your literature review (week 41) will be formatively assessed by an academic member of staff from, again providing feed-forward to help build and develop the final outline research proposal

You will use feedback from tutors and peers to develop their final abstract (500 words) and outline research protocol (3500 words maximum) suitable for submission to a funding body committee. You will also be assessed on the feedback you give to peers in Moodle-workshop (3 hours allocated to peer review). The final assessment (4000 words) is to be submitted in week 45 (LOs 1-5). The total summative components are worth 100% of the overall mark.
