Dissertations

Have  a look at examples of dissertations
We define Action Enquiry as a project that involves teachers working as developers and researchers, implementing what is known as best practice in a specified area and using data to discover what happens, to inform the professional practice of teachers. The module will also introduce you to research methodology and procedures.

A module guide will instruct you on what to do. The discussions below will guide you and support your critical analysis. This module is good preparation for the final dissertation.


This is preparation for dissertations.
