STAFFING:

RATIONALE:

It  is recognised that many postgraduate students need the opportunity
to explore or investigate a topic of their own choosing in relation to
the  area  of  their  studies  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  investigative 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 this unit 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:

collaboration  with an academic supervisor  approved  and
appointed by the unit team leader.
