Unit Description

In this unit you will explore practitioner-led approaches to research, a form of research that values and promotes the knowledge of practitioners such as teachers.

You will learn about a range of approaches within this family of research. For example, design-based research; action research; and participatory action research. By doing so you will cover the specifics regarding the roles of practitioners and researchers, as well as research problems, design methods, and issues of rigour.

The unit will culminate in the preparation of a practitioner inquiry proposal.
