This unit develops teachers who research their own practice, use data to inform their practice and develop an evidence base for this practice. It will explore methods for teachers to conduct research that includes where this research can occur, what is to be researched, how this research can be undertaken and why such research is important. Appropriate methodologies to be explored can include action research, self-study, case studies, critical incident analysis, observation, surveys, interviews and narrative enquiry. The notion of what constitutes a research community within a professional setting will also be considered -- Course Website
