The experiential application of TASC in a post-graduate environment

All students have to pass (inter alia) a compulsory course in Research Methodology (NME 725, Introduction to Quantitative Research) in order to obtain an honours degree from the University of Pretoria's Faculty of Education,. Students are not just expected to master the content of the course module. Instead, after having completed the module successfully, they are expected to apply their newly acquired knowledge and skills practically in new situations. Having successfully completed the module, they should be able to do basic quantitative research in education, report on their research in a professional way and succeed in getting the results published. The knowledge acquired in this module should help them to solve problems in their daily lives and enable them to find solutions to questions they have been asking about learners' performance or the need for improving teaching methods.
