EDAC620 Social Research Methods and Community Contexts

10 cp

In this unit, students develop knowledge and practical skills in social research theory and methods. The unit provides a comprehensive overview of various approaches to social research with a solid grounding in strategy and methods. The strategy of ethnography is particularly explored as are the methods of interviewing, observation and the use of documentary data. Practical stages of the research process are the main focus of study. Students are required to design a small-scale research project developing these stages.
