SCHO29001 - Foundations of Scholarship 1

General Information

Unit Synopsis

This unit is the first of four units where your learning will be scaffolded towards planning and producing a substantial piece of scholarship relevant to your practice or discipline area. Types of scholarship you may ultimately choose to produce include any of the following: research proposal; literature review; systematic literature review; policy analysis; education/training package; inquiry submission; funding application; evaluation of an intervention or article for publication. In this unit you will study foundational scholarship skills to assist you to produce a plan for a significant scholarly output. You will explore worldviews, values, and ethics that underpin all scholarship. You will examine the concepts of axiology, ontology, epistemology, and reflect on their application to your own and others’ professional practice and scholarship. This unit is 48 credit points in CL23 Master of Domestic and Family Violence Practice or CL24 Master of Mental Health Nursing. Students should not enrol in this unit unless they have completed 48 credit points of study in their relevant post-graduate course.
