STAFFING:

RATIONALE:

It  is recognized that many postgraduate students need the opportunity
to  explore or investigate a topic of their own choosing in  order  to
more  closely  link  their professional interests or  needs  to  their
course  of  studies.  Project units are designed to  provide  such  an
opportunity.

SYNOPSIS:

Students will, under the guidance of a member of staff, pursue an  in-
depth  study  of  a topic relevant to the field of education,  and  in
particular to the focus of the student's major study area. The type of
study  not  necessarily  does involve research,  but  should  have  to
include   a  substantial  investigatory  component  leading   to   the
submission of a written report. The 80522 project would be similar  to
the  one  credit point 80519 Project in purpose and format  but  there
would  be an expectation that the student's work would involve a  more
extensive  investigatory  component, with  a  more  comprehensive  and
detailed coverage of major concepts, issues, and research/professional
literature.  All student project proposals would be the subject  of  a
critical  review  and  final topics may be  the  result  of  extensive
lecturer-student negotiation.

OBJECTIVES:

On successful completion of the project the students will
have:

1. demonstrated the ability to plan, conduct and report on an
   investigation or other such scholarly activity focused on an
   issue or topic of significance in the field of education.
