Carefully read the following: This project requires you to plan, conduct and report on one applied research topic that is relevant to an organisation’s strategic practices and outcomes. The research must involve complex ideas and concepts. As part of the assessment you, you will: • choose a topic to research. • plan and develop an applied research strategy. • collect and analyse data. • document and present your research findings. Vocational education and training is all about gaining and developing practical skills that are industry relevant and that can help you to succeed in your chosen career. For this reason, we are giving you the choice to base this research project on your own business, one you work in or a familiar with, or you can use the case study provided. This will mean that you are applying your knowledge and skills in a relevant, practical and meaningful way to your own situation! If you are basing this assessment on your own business, you must choose a research topic that is relevant to your organisation’s strategic practices and outcomes and that involves complex ideas and concepts. It is important that you can access enough information to be able to do your assessment. As a minimum this should include workplace documentation related to applied research and the organisation’s strategic outcomes (e.g. Applied Research Policy). If you are using the case study, all relevant information is contained in the Simulation Pack . You are to choose one of the topics in the research statement and use it as a basis for an applied research project for King Edward VII College. To ensure that you can draw on a range of data sources for your research, your fellow students and/or the staff at your RTO can be questioned, and their responses included as part of your research report. An RTO has been chosen as the case study organisation because: • it is an area in which you have experience, being a student. • you have access to students attending an RTO and staff who work in one (for role-play data collection). • there is a lot of information available on the VET sector, international students, learning theory, institutional management, etc. You will be collecting evidence for this unit in a Project Portfolio . The steps you need to take are outlined below.
