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).
