Researching Vocational and Technology Education
AssignmentTopic: Developing a research proposal
Length: 3000 words
Weighting: 50%
Due Date: 25 May, 2012
In this assignment you need to demonstrate that you can identify and translate an appropriate educational issue, concern or controversy into a researchable problem, and select and apply an appropriate research design, which includes specifying the methodological foundations of the approach you are taking as well as the methods of data collection and analysis, and justify your research design to provide credible and defensible insights into your topic.
From the following list select one topic area for your proposal:
•Tertiary pathways
•Quality of student outcome through external validation / moderation
•Professional development of VET practitioners
•Developing quality learning and assessment resources
•Employability skills
——————————————–
Note that each topic is very broad. This was deliberate to allow you the flexibility to choose a research topic on an aspect that is of interest to you. You may wish to select a topic that is not on the list above, but this must be negotiated and agreed with the Course Convenor before you begin working on your assignment.
Using the research methods literature, you will need to:
(i)Explain what the topic is about and the nature of the problem that your research design will investigate and why it is important and worthwhile researching the problem and how it will add to knowledge or inform policy or practice in adult, vocational and technology education.
(ii)Provide a brief literature review on the topic.
(iii)State the aim of the research and the research questions.
(iv)Decide whether you will use quantitative or qualitative research and select an appropriate research design that is consistent with your research framework and is methodologically sound.
(v)Apply this design to your research problem and develop a project proposal that includes appropriate data collection methods and techniques. Include any ethical considerations into the design of the project.
(vi)The proposal needs to be technically feasible and practical for a sole researcher to complete within 12 months with limited resources. Use the template provided to present your proposal.
Presenting your assignment
•You might like to use sub-headings in your assignment to help structure your writing for yourself, and the reader.
•Target your readings to the topic and use the literature to help you argue/support the points you want to make.
•Your work should be coherent and logically argued. Write simply and to the point, ensuring that you write critically/analytically rather than simply descriptively.
•Use a consistent and appropriate referencing system—APA is preferred.
•Use A4 paper, 1.5 line spacing and leave at least a 3 cm margin. (This is the best format for both marking and photocopying). Use font 12 point Times New Roman.
•Number each page of the assignment.
•Include your name, course code, assignment number and year in the footer of each page.
•Make a duplicate copy of each assignment and keep a copy in a safe place. This overcomes any problems should your assignments ever be lost in transit (even though this rarely happens).
•Attach the marking criteria sheet with your name at the end of your assignment document.
