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 (LO1-5). Building on previous learning throughout the programme students will be able to collate and evaluate data and relevant ethical considerations relevant to their chosen study (LO2-5). 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 (LO1-5). Seminars will provide opportunities for facilitated group discussion and will support reflection and reflexivity on the research process. Additionally, a writers’ workshop seminar will facilitate writing skills for dissemination through publication (LO2-4).
|
Presentation of individual research projects within a small group seminar. Focus on research question, ethical issues and methodology. Feedback from peers and members of the academic team.
|
The assessment submission of this module is a 5000-word research report. The length of the research paper format ensures the student write succinctly and promotes familiarity with the academic publication process. The specific content and structure will be determined by whether the research is a collection of primary or secondary data. In addition, you will also submit all supporting materials as appendices e.g. ethics approval documentation, schedule of interview questions and or survey, standardised appraisals of literature etc.
