Description

Is é aidhm an mhodúil seo ná tuiscint a thabhairt do na mic léinn ar na modhanna taighde is coitianta a úsáidtear sna heolaíochtaí sóisialta; ar chleachtais taighde; agus ar phleanáil agus ar thuairisciú togra taighde. Beidh ar mhic léinn measúnú a dhéanamh ar thuarascálacha éagsúla. Beidh ar mhic léinn taighde príomha a dhearadh, a dhéanamh agus a thuairisciú, le léiriú go dtuigeann siad bunphrionsabail an taighde. Foghlaimeoidh mic léinn faoi na príomhphrionsabail a bhaineann le taighde, agus na buntáistí agus míbhuntáistí a bhaineann le taighde cainníochtúil agus taighde cáilíochtúil.
