Masters Level Module
This module will provide participants with an introduction to a
range of research approaches and methods. They will also be able to
engage in specialist issues and look in detail at sourcing,
generating and analysing specific kinds of extant and new research
content. These will include autobiographies, biographies,
documents, interviews, life histories, media and multi-media texts,
narratives, observations, oral histories, philosophical arguments,
statistics and conceptual analysis, photographs and other visual
representations, statistics and numeric data. Reading of original
source texts of key studies will provide participants with the
opportunity to interrogate the changing and contested nature of
education research. The module is designed to be both multi- and
inter- disciplinary, exposing all students to approaches to
research from across the foundation disciplines of history,
philosophy and sociology. Participants will be invited to explore
the sorts of questions that might be asked, and answered, by
education research. Moving on, we will think about the implications
of these questions for designing research as well as engaging, or
even influencing education policy and practice. The role of the
researcher, her/his relationship with the researched, and the
ethical dimensions of this will be key considerations.
