Assignments; Project

This topic allows students to independently implement and report on the outcomes of a clinical education research project as planned in HLED9113A. Students must have sucessfully completed HLED9113A Research Project in Clinical Education 1 as both topics are taught and assessed as a continuum.

This topic provide students with the opportunity to independently implement a clinical education research project (as developed in HLED9113A) and engage in scholarly reporting, within a supported and supervised environment. This topic will enable students to consolidate their research skills and capacity, undertake data collection and analysis activities for research purposes, critique and extend current understandings of the topic under consideration, discern practical and theoretical implications of research, engage in scholarly reporting, and develop as an autonomous researcher.

On completion of this topic, students will be able to:

1. Independently implement research in clinical education (as planned in HLED9113A)

2. Autonomously use data collection and analysis methods

3. Engage in indepth data interpretation, rather than a predominantly descriptive approach

4. Critique or extend current understandings relevant to the research topic under consideration

5. Discern practical and theoretical implications of research findings

6. Reflect on their learning, capacity and experiences as a clinical education researcher

7. Engage in scholarly reporting of research in the form of a paper suitable for publication in a peer reviewed journal.
