Research Design

We will explore the key features and different types of mixed method design; critically analyse the benefits and challenges associated with the design and implementation of each design type; and the analysis and write-up of mixed method studies.

This master-class has two objectives – to teach the design principles required to make plots that really have an impact on the reader, and to teach the practical skills required to create these plots within the R software package.

Guidance for early career researchers on how to use the latest constructionist approaches, which treat our data as instances of complex behaviours and hence complementary to quantitative research.

A course designed for participants who have undertaken a qualitative study in their work or study and would like to build their theoretical knowledge and applied skill base in qualitative research.

Collecting survey data can be expensive and time-consuming; therefore it is appropriate to ensure that usable and reliable data are collected. This course is designed to prepare participants to build hard copy or internet surveys to meet a variety of needs.

This master-class is relevant to PhD students and early career researchers and more experienced researchers who want to do qualitative research and to write it up rigorously and effectively.
