Module JXH-3070:
Research Project

Module Facts

Run by School of Human and Behavioural Sciences

40.000 Credits or 20.000 ECTS Credits

Overall aims and purpose

The research project module has been developed to give you the opportunity to carry out the research project that you proposed in Year 2. You will already have a supervisor and an outline of your research project and so the purpose of this module is to give you the opportunity for independent study, where you will carry out all aspects of your own research project – from ethical approval, data collection and data analysis to presenting your research findings and submitting your final written work. This module allows you to produce an original piece of research work and integrate knowledge and skills developed throughout your undergraduate studies.

Course content

Supervisory support will form an important part of the teaching method, but ultimately, most of the learning will be student-centered. In this module you will gain experience obtaining ethical approval on your project, before collecting primary data, designed to help answer a research question of particular interest to you and the field. In addition to the supervisory support that you receive, the module teaching staff will provide workshops on gaining ethical approval, how to prepare a verbal/poster presentation and how to present your data in your presentation and final written report. One to one statistics support will also be provided by a postgraduate student. This module provides the opportunity to put into practice the competencies that you have gained throughout your undergraduate studies and across a range of disciplines e.g. subject specific expertise and statistical analytical skills, as well as transferable skills such as critical thinking and being able to disseminate findings effectively.

Assessment Criteria

good

Most criteria are met to a good standard; there may be a wide range in the quality of different components of the verbal/poster presentation and final written research project.

excellent

Most criteria of the verbal/poster presentation and final written research project are met to an excellent standard.

threshold

Most criteria are met to an adequate standard; there may be a wide range in the quality of different components of the verbal/poster presentation and final written research project.

Learning outcomes

  1. Critically review relevant literature to justify a specific research question and associated hypotheses.

  2. Demonstrate deeper awareness of ethical issues and obtain ethical approval.

  3. Critically evaluate research findings in relation to current knowledge and indicate how these might inform practice.

  4. Produce a written report that effectively communicates the completed, viable, research project and their understanding of it.

  5. Effectively synthesise and disseminate research findings in a succinct manner via a poster presentation/verbal communication.

  6. Select, execute and interpret appropriate statistical tests.
