In enacting their research plan, students will be required to demonstrate a solid understanding of their research methodology as well as strong organisational and planning skills. Students will collect, collate and analyse research data in order to derive robust research findings. Students will then critically examine their research findings in relation to existing knowledge on their research topic and analyse the relevance of these findings to occupational therapy theory and practice. Students will begin the process of preparing a research paper on their project suitable for publication in an appropriate academic journal. Students will also deliver an oral presentation summarising their research and be required to respond to peer questions regarding project design, findings and implications</p>
