Demystifying Research Methodology - six week course
Tuesday 2nd May 2023, 12:30 PM - Tuesday 6th June 2023 2:00 PM (London Time)
Course Overview
Delivered by our very own Sophie Scott, this six-week course provides an overview of qualitative research methods, and it is designed with voice practitioners in mind. It will examine the philosophical background to research; demystifying terms such as Ontology, Epistemology and Axiology. Our view of reality influences the choices we make when designing our research. These two important questions shape the way in which we approach our research, influencing our choice of methods and how we present our data. We view our research through the lens of a paradigm and these philosophical principles enable us to view our research from multiple lenses and it provides depth and exciting possibilities moving forward. We will examine two methodologies to give depth to the research design before drilling down into the nuts-and-bolts methods. We will also cover the often-neglected component of data presentation and coding.
