HLTH SC 4400 - Allied Health Research Project Planning

In this course, students will learn about research and the theoretical constructs in developing an ethical research question. Students will apply and extend the knowledge and skills developed in first- and second-year research and evidence-based practice courses and discipline specific subjects to plan a research project in your discipline. Students will develop either a systematic review protocol or a proposal for a research project including: identification of a research question that can meaningfully extend knowledge on a topic, a review of the literature and design of a research method. The course will enhance students’ knowledge of the varied philosophical underpinnings and methodological approaches to conceiving and designing research in health and human services. Students will subsequently undertake the proposal in the final year subject, Allied Health Honours Research Project.
