Clayton Second semester 2008 (Day)
This unit builds on the knowledge, skills and experience gained in previous Bachelor of Adult Learning and Development units and applies them in a work-based setting. Participants will develop and complete a small-scale and self-directed research project in a workplace setting. The unit will emphasise the practical and independent development and management of a research project. Workplace application and dissemination of research project outcomes will be explored.
Upon successful completion of this unit, students should be able to develop a research project proposal; be able to select and apply a work-based research approach; be able to design, manage and complete a work-based research project; and be aware of the ways in which research project outcomes can be applied and disseminated.
