Course overview
This course enables you to engage with published research and to conduct action research in a manner that enables you to be responsive to the changing dynamics of classroom, society and student needs, including while on Professional Placement in High Schools during the semester. You will collaboratively examine a range of methodologies and analyse research studies that inform understandings about issues in curriculum and pedagogy and design your own action research project to inform your ability to adopt responsive practices to your teaching.
