Modiwl XME-4103:
Dissertation: Research Design

Dissertation Research Design Project 2024-25
XME-4103
2024-25
School of Education
Module - Semester 2
60 credits
Module Organiser: Donna Dixon
Overview

There are two dissertation pathways; XME-4103 Research Design project, and XME-4100 Applied Research project. If you are not a practitioner currently working in education, this Research Design project may be your preferred option. If you are currently working in education, please also see the information on XME-4100.

For students not currently working in education who are interested in conducting an Applied Research project, a voluntary research internship option may also be available. This would involve working with a supervisor who is already running a research project; you would work closely with the supervisor to assist with data collection and analysis. When available, these opportunities will be advertised to all students on the course, and you will have the opportunity to apply. Selection of students for the internship opportunities will occur following individual interviews.

If you do not have access to relevant settings for data collection then you will undertake a research design project. This will consist of a literature review, a proposed methodology - including in depth planning and critical discussion of methods and methodology, designing data collection tools (e.g. questionnaires, interviews, observation plans), and creating appropriate research ethics documents and a detailed discussion of data analysis. It will be presented as a 7000-word research design report (70%), a 20-minute viva presentation (15%) and a 2000 word critical reflection report following feedback from the viva (15%). You will not collect data for this dissertation.

Following on from your research methods module (XME-4401 or XME-4001), you will be allocated to a supervisor who will support you throughout your dissertation period. You will meet regularly with your supervisor, and will agree a timeline for submissions of draft work for feedback.
