This module seeks to further advance students’ research and problem solving skills to enable them to undertake research in their future practice and use critically the research of others to inform their practice.
This module aims to further advance your critical appraisal, research and problem solving skills, to enable you to use critically the research of others to inform your practice, and to undertake research in your future practice
This module requires you to demonstrate research skills, analytical capability and creative thinking. You are able to pursue an area of interest, to identify practice issues and to translate one of these into a research question focusing on your respective profession and potential clinical application. In undertaking this module, you have the opportunity to demonstrate in-depth understanding of a specific area of practice.
On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:
Translate practice issues into a research question
Develop a detailed research proposal suitable for submission to a Research Ethics Committee
Demonstrate advanced knowledge in a specific area of practice
Demonstrate advanced understanding of the research process
Demonstrate analytical capability
You are allocated a research supervisor at the beginning of the academic year, and you work with this research supervisor over the course of the year.
Please see the HS859 Supervision Guidance Document 2018-2019 (2017 cohorts) for further information; this is on Moodle under Module Information.
Your research supervisor will provide guidance and ensure you are "on track" with your research. They will direct you to relevant sources of information i.e.; module guide, HS858 resources, marking grid etc as necessary.
You direct the supervision and tutorial process; you contact your supervisor to book tutorials and you prepare for these sessions. Your supervisor will not chase you. Students who use their supervision time and their supervisory conversations effectively consistently achieve better grades for this module.
