Graduates of this course will possess an understanding of contemporary education issues and discourses; have high-level critical and evaluative skills; will be able to translate into practice their experiences and understandings of the program; and will have demonstrated their ability to undertake educational research projects.

Students are introduced to research training through a one credit point introductory unit in research design & method; and this training is deepened in either a qualitative or quantitative method research unit of one credit point.  This research training is then demonstrated through completion of research via a Research Paper (two credit points) or Minor Thesis (four credit points).
