Aims

This topic aims to produce graduates that: 

  • Effectively engage with data and design research that produces useful and actionable outcomes
  • Develop reflexive research practices that acknowledge power dynamics and positionality when working with communities and individuals
  • Apply and interpret basic statistical approaches to small N research, using both qualitative and quantitative approaches

Learning outcomes

On completion of this topic you will be expected to be able to:
1.
Design and execute a research study that responds to an organisation/real-world problem that produces relevant and actionable outcomes that are underpinned by ethical and reflexive practices
2.
Effectively communicate a small-scale pilot, including the rationale and justification for the method, considerations when selecting the method, and the findings
3.
Evaluate the effectiveness and ethical considerations of a small-scale pilot or feasibility study, proposing improvements for future research or implementation
