Description

This core year 1 module will provide you with an introduction to social science research and an understanding of the principles underlying social science research. You will explore what it means to do research, how research projects are designed and how previous knowledge helps researchers create a framework for their scholarly work. The module will draw on approaches to research from sociology, psychology and anthropology so that you have a well-rounded understanding of research in different social science disciplines. You will explore a variety of research designs inclusive of both quantitative and qualitative approaches and will use this to question how they might reflect different paradigms. In addition, this module will reflect on ethical issues in research and 鈥榬esearcher positioning鈥� and will provide you with study skills that you can take forward for your personal and working life.
