In this module, students work on staff-led research projects (in contrast to GV831, in which students work on student-led research projects). Student can choose to work on one of three types of staff-led project: the Essex Challenge Project, the Democracy in Schools Project and the Staff-Led Research Project. Each type of project will consist of different tasks and interim deadlines, which will be announced at the introductory session. Students must also submit a final Research Portfolio that comprises all the written items they have completed during the project.
1. To provide the student with the opportunity to apply their academic learning outcomes in a work-related context.
2. To enable students to develop essential work-based skills throughout the placement.
3. To provide students with the opportunity to analyse their practical work in a theoretical context.
Successful completion of the module will allow students to meet the following outcomes:
A Knowledge and understanding
1. An experience-based understanding of work roles.
B Intellectual/cognitive skills
