Aims
The module aims to develop student skills in the research process. Students will learn the whole research process through attending lectures, conducting online exercises and discussions, and participating in workshops. Students will work on a real research problem which will develop their skills in designing and implementing quantitative and qualitative research projects.
In addition, the module aims to prepare students for their level six independent Impact report, by enabling them to critically review and summarise literature and independently conduct a research project utilising quantitative and qualitative research tools. Furthermore, this module aims to equip students with the skills needed to analyse qualitative and quantitative data using softwares (e.g. SPSS for quantitative and NVivo for qualitative).
The students learning will be assessed through a 2500 word research proposal.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Work on a real research problem which will develop skills in research design, and quantitative and qualitative data analysis.
2.
Prepare an individual, appropriately presented and coherent research proposal (which will require the production of accurate research objectives, an indicative literature, a research strategy and appropriate methodology)
