Project Description

This project aims to develop good practices and strategies to support Master's degree course students across the participating universities to develop their course assessment work into publishable manuscripts. The project is a collaboration between the Faculty of Education (Monash) and School of Medicine (Warwick) to co-design a structured programme to support Master’s degree students in both areas to work towards publishing high quality student assessment work. Using an action research approach, supported by a series of workshops and mentoring activities, the team will engage in actively working with students, as stakeholders, to develop a framework for developing publishable manuscripts from students’ assessments. The framework, which is evidence-based and systematically grounded in students' and investigators' practical experience, will be shared with other faculties and universities. In doing so, the project aims to contribute towards generating new educational and pedagogical knowledge and thus contribute to research excellence, by further addressing students’ needs and aspirations, and also enhancing faculty members’ own professional development.
