Modules

Contemporary Research Methods in Social and Pedagogical Contexts - Core
This course introduces students to theories, approaches and methods for social and educational research in contemporary contexts and is particularly designed for students who are interested in culturally and socially responsive modes. It offers a broad introduction to social research foundations as they are traditionally conceived, whilst also supporting students to consider the ways in which social, cultural, personal and political factors intersect imaginations of social problems, and the scope of research and praxis which is possible in their response. The course content extends to cover research paradigms, qualitative and quantitative approaches, methods and tools for data collection and analysis, ethical considerations, as well as a range of methodologies, including participatory, post-qualitative, arts-informed, feminist, queer, post-colonial and conceptual approaches. Throughout the course students are supported to locate and recognise research as an embodied, personal and performative practice, and to reflexively consider foundations for research within orientations to and interactions with the world activated through the research acts of talking, looking, watching, sensing and doing.
