This is the third research project subject within the professional honours major,
and is the second of a two-subject chain with SL4200. Students will continue to work
on their research project commenced in SL3200 and SL4200. Within this subject chain
students will work in small, self-directed groups (with supervision), to complete
a research project relevant to contemporary speech pathology. In enacting their research
plan, students will be required to demonstrate a solid understanding of their research
methodology as well as strong organisational and planning skills and showing independence
and autonomy. Students will consolidate their knowledge on their research topic area
by undertaking a critical analysis of the literature. Students will also collect,
collate, and analyse research data in order to derive robust research findings. Students
will then critically examine their research findings in relation to existing knowledge
on their research topic, and analyse the relevance of these findings to speech pathology
theory and practice. Students will present their research findings as a scholarly
manuscript, and orally.
