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
link  more  closely  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  does  not  necessarily involve research, but should  include  a
substantial  investigatory component leading to the  submission  of  a
written  research  report, material production or essay  demonstrating
comprehensive  and  detailed coverage of major concepts,  issues,  and
research/professional literature. All student project  proposals  will
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
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.

TOPICS:
