The examinable component for this module is the design of a small-scale research project,
focusing on children and/or young people, which builds on the work you carried out for TMA 03,
i.e. a small literature review. The project consists of three parts: an introduction (Part 1), a
methodology proposal (Part 2) and an evaluation of the potential relevance of your project (Part
3). The introduction to your project will link back to the work you carried out for TMA 03, and your
consideration of previous literature and rationale for the project will inform your choice of
methodology. This will in turn lead onto your evaluation section. The project length is 3000
words (excluding reference lists but including any appendices).
A small-scale research project should be understood as one which could be undertaken in a
period of a year or less by a part-time student, who is employed full-time, taking occasional time
off work. It can be compared to the research projects undertaken by some part-time
undergraduate and Masters students in other institutions.
