Time:

Descriptiopn
A frequently-encountered weakness in graduate research studies is a discrepancy between the aim of the research and the actual research questions. Frequently the promise made in the introduction of a thesis is not fulfilled by the time the conclusion is written. This workshop uses an adaptation of Burrell & Morgan’s four paradigms of social science research from which a set of research questions can be derived that will ensure that what a student sets out to do is aligned with the research questions, so that the research methodology can be derived from that. The highly interactive workshop calls on each participant to interrogate their own research, to select one aim out of a possible four, and to develop two matching research questions to achieve the aim. The workshop also explains how the model can be used in iterative design research by cycling through all the various aims and questions.
