EDED20514 - Capstone Research Project in Neuroscience

General Information

Unit Synopsis

In this capstone unit at the end of your course, you will plan a project that evidences the application of your specialised knowledge and skills in Educational Neuroscience. To do this, you will identify an educational issue with a key research question and design an intervention to address it that is methodologically rigorous and ethically sound associated with your workplace or intended workplace. Using evidence-based research, and synthesising your learning from Educational Neuroscience, you will show the likely positive impact on, for example, the achievement and wellness of the potential participants. That will include background information on why you chose your project, its anticipated significance to influence practice and policy locally and possibly beyond, the likely timelines of your project should it be implemented and the intended research methods to be used.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Project (applied) 100%

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%).
