■ EDR702 1–9 THESIS
Provides students with an opportunity to extend and synthesise
knowledge from the coursework section; allows the coursework
to be applied in a manner that reflects how it might be used in
future work situations; provides a means of extending the skills
and understandings gained from formal units to investigate in
depth some aspects of the student’s professional practice. Focuses
on the extension of acquired knowledge to increase the
understanding and competence of skilled professional educators;
facilitates the application of innovative research but grows
out of the professional coursework. All candidates will proceed
through the three required thesis steps. Namely, Step (a) Thesis
Preparation; Step (b) Thesis Confirmation of Candidature; and
Step (c) Thesis Implementation.
Courses: ED11 Prerequisites: EDR703
Credit Points: 24 each
■ EDR703 INTERDISCIPLINARY EDUCATION
STUDIES (ADVANCED SEMINARS)
A reading and seminar program that aims to broaden and
deepen the student’s initial perspective to include elements
derived from theoretical perspectives drawn from a number
of disciplines; seeks to provide a context of learning for educators
who seek the personal and professional benefits that
the broadening and deepening of their professional knowledge
affords.
