Master of Education (MEd) by Research (MR018), Master of Arts (MR019)
The Master of Education and Master of Arts by Research is normally awarded for a thesis or project based on original research that contributes to knowledge in the area investigated. A research method course is a compulsory requirement of this program. Research degrees by project combine a traditional research methodology and skill base with a contemporary understanding of organisations and professional practice in the workplace. These degrees enable individuals and their organisations to study a workplace concern and produce a comprehensively researched outcome that feeds back into the organisation. This innovative approach provides multiple tangible outcomes, not least of which is the project itself, but also the building of a research and development capability within the organisation, the development of applied research skills for the participants as well as a qualification from a leading Australian university.
Some key characteristics of the by project mode include industry partnership, collaboration, research linked to action, positive change for the organisation and individual, and action learning/action research approaches within a project framework. The degree promotes an explicit relationship between research, learning and change. As a consequence the program is challenging for the individual as they grapple with the generation of new knowledge and how this knowledge informs action. Any research project is contingent on the availability of appropriate supervisors being available, and are fee paying courses.
