Module Code: CYP 5073
Module title: Research Methods and Evidence-Based Practice
Research Presentation : 10 minutes (1,000 words equivalent)
A short introduction to the task
The research presentation will assess students’ understanding of the research methods introduced during semester one. In this assignment, students will be required to:
- Determine their research area of interest
- Identify research that has previously explored this area. Students must identify at least THREE methods used in previous research (e.g., interviews, surveys, experiments, observations). These methods do NOT need to be in the same paper. In this sense, students will need to engage with and identify several research papers regarding their area of interest
- Discuss the research and their findings
- Reflect on the strengths and limitations of each method used to conduct this research
- Consider how you could use this method for your research
The data extraction tool that students complete throughout the module will support this assignment. The assignment will encourage students to engage with research in their area of interest and provide them with the knowledge base and research skills required for the semester two module and the dissertation at Level 6.
