RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Applied research includes:
research conducted for the primary purpose of solving an immediate, practical problem
Research procedures and methodology may include:
action plan including time line
considering a range of possible methodologies and strategies such as:
desk-based research
ethnographic research
interviews
literature review
questionnaires
surveys
Legal or ethical considerations may include:
awareness of power relationships
commercial confidentiality
intellectual property
organisational policies
privacy and confidentiality
Appropriate documentation may include:
discussion of any limitations of methodology, data and analysis or process
presentation of the outcomes
relevant appendices
research report
support for the activity process or research hypothesis

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
conducting original applied research in an international education organisation
knowledge of relevant legal, ethical and organisational research requirements.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
access to international education-related data
research activities are related to an international education context and a specific education sector.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate performance in researching issues in international education
evaluation of supervisor's reports on how the candidate conducted the research
observation and evaluation of work role-related oral research presentations
analysis of research records and reports developed by the candidate
review of rationale prepared for research and hypotheses put forward to be tested
review of data analysis and recorded project activities
evaluation of documentation prepared on research outcomes
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of relevant research methods.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
with other units in the qualification in which this unit is packaged.
