This course will provide an opportunity for doctoral candidates to pursue their research interests in the area that will form the foundation of their EdD proposal and research portfolio. The specialisation chosen by students will enable them to investigate one or two areas of study that will provide an opportunity to establish a comprehensive literature review related to their professional interests and needs.

Students will pursue in depth study within their specialisation area. It will involve an extensive and critical investigation of the literature relevant to the particular focus of the individual's major study area. This will lead to the submission of a critical literature review paper that will provide a foundation for the confirmation proposal and literature review(s) required for the research portfolio.

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

1. locate, identify and critique published research-based material relevant to the area of specialisation (Annotated Bibliography);
2. record and present bibliographic details and reflective summaries of research-based published material in the area of specialisation as an annotated bibliography (Annotated Bibliography);
3. articulate a research problem appropriate for investigation through a critical review of research-based published material in their area of specialisation (Written accompaniment to the Annotated Bibliography);
4. prepare a critical review of research literature relevant to the intended area(s) of doctoral research, including at least one proposed research question derived from the review (Paper);
5. communicate competently with appropriate use of language and literacy, including spelling, grammar, punctuation and bibliographic referencing. (Annotated Bibliography/ Paper).
