Provides a complete course overview
Define your research problem with your supervisor, refine the scope, and articulate a clear, non-ambiguous statement while surveying latest journals within a five-year window to identify a meaningful contribution.
Explore positivism as a quantitative research philosophy, framing knowledge gaps, formulating hypotheses, and using literature reviews, questionnaires, and statistical tests to test null and alternative hypotheses.
Explore interpretivism and constructivism, where reality is context-dependent; learn qualitative methods like case studies, ethnography, interviews, and grounded theory to generate research questions and interpret findings using thematic analysis.
Summarize the proposal outline ii: articulate the research problem, questions, and philosophy; compare qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods; outline literature review, rich picture, high-level architecture, and evaluation plan.
Demonstrate thematic analysis using the CCP framework to turn qualitative interview data into quantitative insights, detailing controlled interviews, transcription, coding, and theme counts for research methodology.
In any undergraduate or postgraduate programme, the ultimate milestone is to complete a research project. The inception of a research project occurs from the research proposal. This course will teach you the significant concepts associated with research methodology and how you can create your research proposal.
