About this Unit
This unit is designed to enable students to engage in evidence-based practice in their area of interest or specialisation. Students will develop skills in analysing, critiquing, and synthesising the education literature in an area of their choosing. Their evaluation of the available research evidence will then form the basis for their undertaking a self-directed project (eg. Action research; evaluation of teaching/learning approach; development of teaching/learning project) which addresses an issue of relevance to their practice.
