About this Unit
Practitioners are continually seeking new ways of understanding and improving their practices in the workplace. A range of applied evidence-based research methodologies provides valuable tools to aid this process. For educators to benefit from such research they need to have control of the methodology and be able to embed that methodology in their workplace practice. This unit will introduce students to practitioner research methodologies in general and action research in particular. The unit will assist students to become reflective practitioners and researchers who are capable of making informed improvements to professional practice.
