This module introduces the student to the research methods used within educational and social science research. Students will have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with various research tools (interviewing, observation, questionnaires etc.) and appropriate data analysis. Consideration will be given to aspects of reliability, validity and ethical issues. A key focus of the module will be to consider the particular complexities of research that arise when the research participants are children and/or infants. Students will explore the practical and ethical issues of conducting research with children and how such methods are employed in current research.
