13. Summary of syllabus content

 

This module, which operates across all the masters’ programmes, is based on the understanding that research will be conducted either through or about practices. 

The module will introduce you to the question of research in the context of your practice. We will examine research approaches focusing on the relationship of theory to the work of practitioners. The module will also cover designing the research question, developing models for research, locating and interrogating sources and methodological analyses. Finally we will address the structuring of research outcomes and their presentation and dissemination.  

 

14. Summary of teaching and learning methods

 

Teaching methods include

• lectures

• seminars

• IT demonstrations

• library research skills introduction

 

Learning activities include

• seminar presentations

• reading and private study

• development of a detailed proposal for either an academic or a professional project

 

Relationship between the teaching, learning and assessment methods and the planned learning outcomes

 

This module will be directed by lectures which will provide the intellectual and skills framework to preface a series of workshops drawing on case studies from your selected pathway, but equipping you with research skills that are common to all of the disciplines.  In seminars you will explore the nature of research as it relates to your area of interest and your self-initiated work.

 

This module focuses on developing the different facets of carrying out research at Masters level. The assessments help you to apply the relevant skills you will be developing throughout this module.

 

15. Summary of assessment methods

 

Assessments designed to provide formative, on-module feedback #p#分頁標(biāo)題#e#

•  seminar presentations

 

Summative Assessments

MA Fine Art, MA Design: Communication Design and Fashion & Textile Design pathways

The summative assessment will consist of a first assignment submission of a text (1500 words) worth 40% of the final module mark.  This will be followed by the second submission (3000 words); a research proposal worth 60% of the final module mark. This part of the assessment is about critical awareness of the research process and constructive consideration of research methods. You will highlight some of the methods that would be used to carry it out, outline the sources and summarise the type of output to which it will lead.  You will have the opportunity to view some examples of good practice in relation to research proposals (see table below).

Assignment 1. 

Research Question and Context – You should identify a question or problem within your chosen field and which you will address in the research proposal (assignment 2). You should then define the context for this question and this will involve carrying out some initial investigation into existing knowledge. You should include reference to secondary sources of information and address wider issues of practice in this area i.e. other artists, designers and/or current thinking related to your ideas.

 

Assignment 2. Research Proposal

You should prepare a research proposal. You can choose whether this proposal is to be targeted to an academic or professional readership. The research in this proposal should be designed to support the investigation of an art or design issue. You have to select the art or design issue and make the case for investing in this research. The specific headings you would have to cover include:

1. Background/context to the art/design issue.

2. Research question or problem.

3. Research objectives.

4. The value of this work.

5. Research design/methods.

6. Outcomes with timeline
