Research project: Capacity building in social science research methods: Researching teaching and learning processes - Dormant - Dormant
This project forms part of a programme of research undertaken by the NCRM hub. It follows on from recent research on the nature of innovation in social science qualitative research methods and it complements the hub work on the methodological research and training needs of the UK social science community undertaken to inform policy and practice in research methods capacity-building in the UK. Such capacity-building requires effective dissemination of, and training or teaching and learning in, new or advanced methods. It is as yet unclear whether innovation in research methods also requires some innovation in the ways in which methods are taught and learned. Research on the teaching of research methods to date has largely focused on undergraduate or postgraduate students and not on advanced or innovative methods or on short courses for people already working as researchers.
