international student and the purpose of this course is to provide students with an opportunity to build on or extend interests developed in their specialist area of education by undertaking a self-directed small-scale individual capstone project, normally in small groups with other students from the same specialisation.
International students or students who are not currently employed in cannot go into a school to do any project work for this course, so are more constrained in what they can do for their project, i.e. the development and /or evaluation of teaching materials or courses, discourse analysis of government policies, or a theoretical piece of research, i.e. an argument to introduce a new approach or methodology into their own context.
Research Report

– The report should be double-spaced and written in APA style.
– This project does not require formal ethics approval.

To assist you to undertake a qualitative meta-analysis, I have uploaded a few different studies which named (Hoon 2013, Paterson et al. 2009, Sandelowski and Scruggs 2007). When you are pursuing this methodology, please read through these very carefully and make sure you are actually conducting a meta-analysis, not a literature review!
Note:
You should know that many writers or students choose to conduct meta-analysis, but they struggle to do it very well. It is critical that you are rigorous and understand that this is not just another literature review.
Please find the attached files of a project proposal, Some articles on qualitative meta-analysis and some required references (PDFs).
Please make sure to do this project in high quality in (a PHD level) as it has full mark 100%.
