This subject comprises the [AQF] Capstone experience for this course. Drawing on theory, knowledge and skills developed throughout the Master of Education Policy (International), students will complete an individually negotiated project in which the student undertakes a theoretical study (for example, a substantial critical review of a particular body of literature). The Capstone project will culminate with students synthesizing the findings of their work in a written form such as a journal article or report. A hurdle requirement for this subject is that students will also provide an oral presentation of their findings, which should incorporate a reflection on the key learnings and understandings they have gained from their studies in the Master of Education Policy (International).
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students will be able to:
- Carry out a substantial research-based project;
- Demonstrate an understanding of the ethical; issues associated with practitioner research;
- Analyse data and synthesise research findings;
- Report research findings in a verbal form; and
- Use research findings to advance education theory, policy and practice
Generic skills
On completion of this subject, students will be able to:
- Critically apply their learning from their study of international and Australian systems to their own local policy context;
- Undertake an analysis of a local policy issue;
- Make policy recommendations on a local policy issue which take into account learnings from their international and Australian studies.
