This is the final course in a three-part Honours Research course chain. Within this course, students will complete their independent research project (with supervision) relevant to a contemporary occupational therapy practice issue. Students will be required to demonstrate a solid understanding of their research methodology as well as strong organisational and planning skills in order to effectively bring their research project to a conclusion. Students will critically examine their research findings in relation to existing knowledge on their research topic and analyse the relevance of these findings to occupational therapy theory and practice. Students will finalise their research paper which will be suitable for publication in an appropriate academic journal. Students will present their project findings orally (for example at a student-led conference) and be required to respond to peer and examiner questions regarding project method, conclusions and recommendations.
