Capstone Research Investigation

Students draw on theory, knowledge and skills developed through their degree. They explore a nominated field of education and/or training that they regard as directly related to their own interests. Through negotiation with a mentor, students undertake a theoretical study, a research or workplace investigation within the scope of the unit's word limit. Students independently conduct research which demonstrates their ability to define a problem and review relevant theoretical and practical literature. Students develop a methodology and apply it to their defined problem or situation. They also demonstrate data selection, collection and analysis skills and have flexibility in how they construct and present their findings. There is a strong focus on peer learning in this unit so that students are able to contribute to each other's learning.
