In this course students will choose a focus for their professional project which will be a small scale practitioner enquiry undertaken during their placement in year four. Students might choose to build on the focus in their year 3 target child study or another course undertaken in years 1 – 3 and will further develop skills for research and enquiry. In this course students will focus on writing a literature review and developing their understanding of ethical considerations, methodology and skills to analyse data.
