This module aims to develop decision-making skills related to research design and allows learning from other modules to be brought together in a single context. This provides an opportunity for students to explore, assimilate and synthesise learning from across the individual modules within their learning portfolio. 'Evidence' of this exploration involves a fifteen thousand word dissertation in which the student will demonstrate how the whole course learning has been brought into play in a piece of action-research. The dissertation will give evidence of the consideration of research methodologies, ethics, logical arguments, validity, reliability and confidence in the conclusions.
