Description

Scileanna na gcéimithe maidir le taighde, réiteach fadhbanna agus anailís a fhorbairt. Ábhair a ndéileáiltear leo sna modúil teagaisc a tharraingt le chéile agus breis forbartha a dhéanamh orthu Deis a thabhairt do na céimithe staidéar ag leibhéal máistreachta a dhéanamh ar réimse ábhar dá rogha féin, ábhair nár clúdaíodh sna modúil san áireamh. Moltar don mhac léinn an leas is mó a bhaint as an stiúrthóireacht atá ar fáil sa mhodúl seo agus na deiseanna eile atá ann le haiseolas a fháil ar an togra taighde atá idir lámha. Tá an-bhéim sa mhodúl seo ar an bhfoghlaim neamhspleách agus ní mór don mhac léinn a f(h)oghlaim a bhainistiú go héifeachtúil.

Learning Outcomes

1. Tionscadál taighde príomhúil a phleanáil agus a chur i gcrích de réir na gcoinbhinsiún acadúla
2. Ceist taighde a aimsiú agus cás substainteach meáite a chur i láthair agus a argóint
3. Cur chuige taighde a roghnú, a chur i bhfeidhm agus a mheas
4. Léirmheas, sintéis agus tátail a bhaint as an litríocht cuí sa réimse agus é a chur i láthair
5. Catagóiriú, anailís agus léiriú ar na sonraí atá bailithe de réir na gcoinbhinsiún acadúil cuí sa réimse agus rialacha na hOllscoile
6. Measúnú criticiúil a dhéanamh ar an bpróiseas taighe agus na laigí a bhaineann leis an modheolaíocht roghnaithe

Indicative Content and Learning Activities

Stiúrthóireacht
Ainmneofar stiúrthóir acadúil do gach céimí agus gheobhaidh sé/sí treoir de réir sceidil aontaithe ón stiúrthóir acadúil. Coinneoidh an mac léinn teagmháil leis an stiúrthóir agus socróidh cúpla cruinniú le linn na tréimhse.

Dréachtmholadh
Cuirfidh gach céimí dréachtmholadh don tráchtas i scríbhinn ar fáíl. Cuimseoidh an dréacht saincheist taighde, plean taighde, cur síos ar an modheolaíocht, agus liosta léitheoireachta táscach.

Aiseolas
Cuirfidh an mac léinn an taighde atá ar bun aige nó aici i láthair don rang agus do stiúrthóirí uilig an mhodúil
