Course description
This course is designed as a capstone experience in the Bachelor of Education (Secondary) program, enabling students to plan, act and reflect as professionals through the design and execution of a research based project. The course includes an on-campus component and a research component associated with the professional experience placement undertaken during the semester. During the on-campus component, research principles and methods are introduced in the context of the need to act professionally, ethically and collegially to improve student learning and educational outcomes. Prior to and during the professional experience placement that follows, students will consult with university staff to design a research-based project directly related to their teaching at the school and the particular specialisation of their program. In the process of completing this course, students will develop and demonstrate the professional, ethical and values-based standards and competencies required of beginning teachers.
