Subject Overview:

This subject provides participants with the opportunity to investigate an aspect of teaching and learning of mutual interest to them and to their workplace (TAFE department or Private provider). Supported by workshops, individual mentors and networks, each participant will develop a complete and viable research proposal in an area of relevance to teaching and learning in their department/provider. The completed report may subsequently be used as the basis for an application for funding and/or further research studies such as a Masters-level research project.

  • skills in planning and developing a detailed proposal for research in tertiary education;
  • a research interest in relation to teaching and learning;

  • links with senior colleagues based on a common interest in teaching-related issues.
Assessment:
