This module constitutes a significant component of the MRes programme, providing an excellent opportunity to engage in independent and original research. It allows for the expansion of individual interests and the enhancement of understanding in a subject of passion. Whether this research builds on previous studies or serves as a preliminary step towards larger initiatives such as a PhD or a professional research career, it presents a valuable opportunity for growth and intellectual exploration.

The focus of this module is to review and reflect on your practice and future areas for professional development as an education practitioner. You will develop your skills of grit and resilience, and make personal recommendations for maintaining your own well-being, professional skills and pedagogical experience. You will also consider the social, emotional and cognitive well-being of learners in your sector, and will develop strategies that enable you to support and maintain positive learning experiences in the learning environment.
