SPH526 Conducting and evaluating practice-based research projects in speech pathology (8)
Abstract| Using your knowledge of research principles and methods gained in other subjects (SPH511, SPH512, SPH513, SPH522, and SPH523), you will execute a substantial research based project (planned in SPH516). Your research must involve collaboration with others, and focus on prevention, education and/or promotion of communication and swallowing issues, or speech pathology assessment and intervention.
This project will be planned during a workplace learning experience (completed in SPH515/17 and 525/27) , supervised by your clinical educators and supported by CSU academic and general staff. Continuing from SPH516, in this subject you will: - Conduct and monitor your research
- Disseminate your research findings
- Explore opportunities for conducting research in practice.
To demonstrate mastery of the subject learning outcomes and learning experiences you will communicate your research outcomes to project stakeholders, as well as a professional audience by presenting a conference paper and writing a journal article.
You will use research databases, CSU Interact2 subject site and online communication tools (discussion boards/wikis/chat room/blog etc).

Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this subject, students should:
- Demonstrate knowledge of research principles and methods applicable to speech pathology practice. This will be demonstrated by presenting a conference paper and writing a journal article based on your research project.
- Demonstrate mastery of theoretical knowledge and reflect critically on theory and professional practice. This will be demonstrated by presenting a conference paper and writing a journal article based on your research project.
- Apply cognitive, technical and creative skills to investigate, analyse and synthesise complex information, problems, concepts and theories in order to implement, evaluate and communicate an ethical and clinically relevant research project to specialist and non-specialist audiences.This will be demonstrated by presenting a conference paper and writing a journal article based on your research project.
