This unit introduces practising educators to the process of conducting action research in their own teaching programs. The focus is not on theoretical aspects of education research or on specific curriculum content or context, but on action research as a mechanism for designing and conducting classroom-based research. Participants in the unit have the opportunity to design a curriculum project for a specific group of students, whether in a particular learning area or cross-curricular, or to use an existing curriculum package. (Past experience has shown that this type of project is not well-suited to learning areas which focus on basic skills, e.g. keyboard, word processing, motor skill training). The curriculum development aspect of the action research enquiry could entail planning for individual student contracts, group research projects, problem-based learning or cross-curricular approaches to integrated projects. Students design an action research plan which is integral to their curriculum package, including identifying what counts as data, how it might be collected and how it might be interpreted to prepare for the next cycle of action research enquiry.

This unit equips Doctor of Education students to develop a conceptual and contextual framework relevant to their research projects. Particular emphasis is placed on highlighting the main research issues in the field of study, identifying the discourses that shape the field of enquiry, and the ways in which questions have previously been addressed in the field. Students are required to locate their study in international, national and local contexts of history and policy formation and implementation. Finally, students use the first two frames to identify and to review critically empirical literature relevant to their fields of study. The approach in the unit is generic and the content can be applied to various levels of the education system, to different sectors and to various educational contexts.
