1 INTRODUCTION
Unisa, as a comprehensive open distance e-learning institution (CODeL), is moving towards
becoming an online institution. You will therefore see that all your study material, assessments
and engagements with your lecturer and fellow students will take place online. This tutorial letter
is intended to offer you some guidance in this regard.
2 PURPOSE AND OUTCOMES
2.1 Purpose
The purpose of this module is to equip student teachers with basic research skills, to do critical
analysis of documents they might use in their research and to develop critical reasoning skills
that they can use to construct logical arguments when writing research reports. The skills
acquired in this module can be applied in all other modules. Student teachers are not only users
of existing research when doing investigations, they must become active participants by
undertaking a research project individually or as part of a group.
2.2 Outcomes
• Define and formulate research problems and questions.
• Identify and apply elements of critical reasoning and critical analysis to selected
educational texts.
• Develop basic research skills.
• Apply research skills in an action research project of limited scope.
3 CURRICULUM TRANSFORMATION
Unisa has implemented a transformation charter, in terms of which the university has placed curriculum
transformation high on the teaching and learning agenda. Curriculum transformation includes student-
centred scholarship, the pedagogical renewal of teaching and assessment practices, the scholarship of
teaching and learning, and the infusion of African epistemologies and philosophies. All of these will be
phased in at both programme and module levels, and as a result of this you will notice a marked change
in the teaching and learning strategy implemented by Unisa, together with the way in which the content is
conceptualised in your modules. We encourage you to embrace these changes during your studies at
Unisa in a responsive way within the framework of transformation.
