Module Description
This advanced module is a year-long module that allows the learner to interrogate in a research project an aspect of the programme which the learner wishes to investigate more deeply.
Module Aims
1. To allow the learner to investigate in depth an area of practice-based drama of particular interest to the learner. 2. To determine and develop research methods appropriate to the chosen subject. 3. To support the learner through a sustained individual research project. 4. To develop the learner's ability to articulate conceptually their interrogation of the chosen subject. 5. To encourage practice-based research.
1. The first semester will focus on introducing and developing research methodologies, including delineating the subject of the project, the gathering of printed and electronic resources, survey and interview techniques, and establishing a theoretical/conceptual framework. Learners are encouraged to incorporate practice-based and/or performance-based strategies in their presentation.
2. The content of the thesis will be an aspect of practice-based drama covered by the programme.
3. Specific content of the presentation and the thesis is determined by the learner with the consultation and advice of the module tutor/supervisor.
4. Appropriate style, formatting and submission guidelines.
One hour lectures/seminars on research methodologies in the first semester, followed by a combination of small-group seminars and one-to-one sessions between the learner and the supervisor in the second semester.
