Research Methods

Qualitative? Quantitative? Mixed? Research methods are the systematic tools used to conduct research. Basically, they are the rules researchers follow to collect information in order to seek an answer to their research question. In this session you will be briefly introduced to different research methodologies, and explore learning materials that will help you to design research projects, understand particular methods or identify a new method, and learn how to incorporate these into your own teaching, research, and writing. This workshop would suit those staff and researchers who want to refine or enhance their skills and those who are conducting or considering their own research. This session maps to the RDF’s sub domain of Knowledge base (A1) and Communication and dissemination (D2).

定性？定量？混合？研究方法是开展学术研究的系统性工具。简言之，其为研究者为解答研究问题而收集信息所遵循的准则。本环节将简要介绍各类研究方法论，并提供学习资源，助力研究者设计研究项目、理解特定研究方法或发掘全新方法，同时掌握如何将其融入自身的教学、研究与写作工作中。本工作坊适用于希望精进或提升自身研究技能的教职人员与研究者，以及正在开展或计划开展自主研究的人群。本环节对应RDF的知识库（A1）与传播推广（D2）子领域。
