Dissertation on a Practice-Based Enquiry on Teaching (CCME0114)

The Practice Based Enquiry (PBE) gives participants an opportunity to undertake a piece of small-scale, practitioner-based classroom research and thus to explore in depth a question that arise out of their school or classroom experience. At the heart of this module is a focus on practice and the benefits of using research to explore, reflect on and improve practice. The writing up of the research report (10,000 words) or dissertation (20,000 words) requires the completion of a substantial piece of work which is of value in itself, but also develops key academic skills (evidence-based research, critical literacy and analysis) and can thus be a foundation for a range of further study in education or cognate social sciences. Practice Based Enquiry is a mixed mode module consisting of online tasks and some face-to-face sessions. It is also available as a fully online module for distance learners.
