Inquiry Project Report

Action Plan

Students will learn and apply inquiry skills to independently locate, analyse, synthesise and evaluate sources of information addressing an issue or topic. Students will develop skills as reflective practitioners through generating implications from their inquiry for their future classroom practice. They will learn to construct a high quality report encompassing current theory, research, policy and practice in English education and lead a seminar presentation to contribute to the learning of their peers in the area of primary English.

This subject is only available to students enrolled in the Master of Teaching (Primary) and the Bachelor of Educational Studies and this subject is not available to students who have completed EML447.Students who are undertaking an extended primary curriculum area study in English/Literacy should complete EML440 and EML530 prior to enrolling in EML529.
