This subject aims to develop students' understanding of research through their active participation in it. With the support of the lecturer, students undertake a sustained research investigation of a particular avenue of interest to them, within a broad and fruitful research focus of relevance to the class community. In addition to developing students' appreciation of research by doing it, the subject deepens their understanding of the broad spectrum of educational research paradigms. This subject is designed both as an essential preparation for the BEd(Hons) course and as an elective for third-year Bachelor of Education students.
