The course requires the students to integrate and consolidate the knowledge from their programme of study, while also deepening and extending their professional knowledge and skills in one area of interest and choice. In this 300 level optional course, students will undertake an Inquiry based research project. They will be expected to work within the education community to identify and investigate an education related issue or topic of interest, and to gather information. Students will experience authentic research through a student-centred and scaffolded inquiry approach. They will research, synthesize and evaluate new knowledge, and make links to theory and ‘best’ classroom & centre practice. This process will contribute to the development of students' teaching philosophies.
