<p>Professional Inquiry consists of two capstone units which require candidates to bring together the sum total of the learning from their specialisation studies to engage in an extended process of inquiry in response to an existing problem or issue within their educational context. Project outcomes should typically have clear recommendations for practice changes/improvements in the student’s professional context.<br><br>
Professional Inquiry B is the second part of the two units, in which candidates implement their research proposal and carry out their professional inquiry project. Students are expected to complete a portfolio of mini reflective reports and present a small-scale study project with a final research report. The process of inquiry is carefully planned to enable candidates to find a possible solution to their identified problem or greater understanding of an educational issue.</p>
