This unit requires you to engage with student data for the purposes of improving student learning and educational outcomes. You will plan and implement a research project, which requires the collection and analysis of data from a 'real world' teaching context during their Internship. A project report will then be presented that documents the collection and analysis of specific data, identifying implications for teaching practice, making recommendations for improved student learning outcomes, and indicating how you would modify learning goals and teaching practices to enhance learning outcomes for students. You will engage with literature associated with the specific teaching and learning issue being investigated. You will also explore ethical considerations when collecting, analysing, evaluating and interpreting student data and investigate issues of working confidentially and professionally within a values-based context.

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Each 6-credit Postgraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).
