Abstract
This chapter showcases educational research course designs as developed by various tutors. The contributions are documented and reflected upon by the course tutors who deliver the course. The chapter brings together the diverse models implemented in these courses and offers readers different perspectives and various examples to choose from. Each chapter adopts a different path to introducing educational research and relevant essential skills to pre-service teachers. Therefore, it could set alternative examples for those who intend to deliver such a course.
