This CLO is designed to help students explore literature in their particular area of educational research. Specifically, it explores how to critically read short research studies initially through their first point of contact with such studies - the abstract. The module then goes on to look at how educational and social research reports are typically structured and how to read research critically and evaluate research findings.
