STAFFING:

RATIONALE:

It  is recognised 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  need  not  necessarily involve research but  should  include  a
substantial  investigating component leading to the  submission  of  a
written report. 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.

The   topic   of   the  project  will  be  developed   in
collaboration  with an academic supervisor  approved  and
appointed by the unit team leader.
