Description

This course explores the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning and aims to provide participants with the knowledge and skills to design a research study into an aspect of teaching and learning in the tertiary context. The foci of the course are on formulating an educational research question, developing the study design and methodology, including human ethics considerations.

HEDN604 is the capstone course of the PGCert and aims to provide participants with the tools and experience to engage in, and report on, (action) research into an aspect of teaching and learning in the tertiary context (scholarship of tertiary teaching and learning). In the first half of the course we will collaboratively focus on formulating educational (action) research questions, research design, methodology, and ethical considerations. In the second half of the course you will work, individually or in teams, on your own research projects.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will be able to:
1.            Design and implement an (action) research project in tertiary education.
2.            Evaluate the ethical implications of the research design and methodology, and apply principles of ethics to minimise impact on research participants, in particular issues around power differentials, coercion, informed consent, and data / participant confidentiality.
3.            Use ethical ways to gather data and use appropriate methods to analyse the data.
