Download or read book Studying Postgraduate Healthcare A Pre Reader written by Dr Catherine Hayes and published by M&K Update Ltd. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by academics with long experience of dealing with new postgraduate healthcare students, this helpful guide provides a much-needed overview of the practical considerations that should be taken into account when embarking on any postgraduate healthcare course. The authors have designed the book to be an ‘easy read’ for those developing their thinking about study in general, and studying at master’s and doctoral-level specifically. The chapters can also be read independently and readers can dip into them, as they wish. Above all, the authors hope this book will show that educational institutions care about their students in a holistic sense, as human beings. This is significant when we consider the huge impact that undertaking an educational journey in postgraduate healthcare can have on everyday life, and the accompanying need to manage the changes it brings. They strongly believe that long-term education should be seen as an integral part of life, and not something that exists separately from the individual’s normal existence. Contents include: Managing expectations in postgraduate education Managing work/life balance in postgraduate academic study Postgraduate-level study skills Work-based learning in postgraduate health curricula Constructing a thesis or dissertation Disseminating academic work
Download or read book Beyond Disciplinarity written by Catherine Hayes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a means of comprehensively grounding and considering the epistemological and philosophical underpinnings of practice-based research epistemologies. By introducing readers to the diverse array of methodological tools and concepts that are necessary to underpin postgraduate research, this book develops an understanding of the distinctions between practice-led research, practice-based research and question-led research, and the contextual significance of each, as well as enabling students to comprehend the historical relationships between academic disciplines and the value of reconnecting them at an epistemological and philosophical level. Through illustrated examples from applied practice across disciplines such as art, social sciences and medical and allied healthcare sciences, readers are encouraged to develop the capacity to not only think conceptually about their own research, but to systematically evaluate that of others. With this focus on descriptive studies from practice, the book fosters higher-order critical thinking in relation to implications for methodological implementation, encouraging deep learning processes and the confidence to transcend the limits of one’s own discipline in order to work collaboratively with researchers in different fields.

Download or read book Reading At University written by Fairbairn, Gavin and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2001-09-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading as a student demands new skills and new disciplines. Students must read. They must read to inform themselves about the subjects they are studying and to allow them to write assignments, reports and dissertations. Though most students can read fairly well, few can make as much or as efficient use as possible of the time they devote to reading for academic purposes. Many guides to study offer a pot pourri of techniques for improving reading skills. None gives as full a treatment of this essential and underpinning area of academic life as Reading at University. The authors believe that students must change both the ways in which they read and the ways in which they think about reading. This book offers effective and efficient strategies for fulfilling students' reading and study potential.
