Inquiry into Practice 1 | Federation University

EDMAS6027 Inquiry into Practice 1

This unit is designed to provide pre-service teachers (PSTs) with insights into the relationship between effective teaching and practitioner inquiry. PSTs will recognise the importance of inquiring into their own teaching as a way of engaging in professional learning and will become familiar with methods for conducting inquiries. PSTs are expected to frame a practitioner inquiry that they will undertake in the companion course Inquiry into Practice 2. Through this unit PSTs will understand the dispositions activated through practitioner inquiry, how practitioner inquiry can improve student learning, and what ethical practitioner inquiry involves. PSTs will examine how an inquiry into practice can include a focus on their area of specialisation.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $592
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $592

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
