Knowledge and skills involved in research are often required for academic and workplace progression and development. The course develops the learners' research literacy by introducing the learner to research concepts, methodologies and techniques used in business, health, engineering, community services, and media. The course examines historical, cultural and worldview (global) perspectives that underlie decisions about research.

The goal of the course is to enable to identify and critically interpret research evidence to support their decision-making processes in the work environment and in one's day-to-day life.
