Time: Tuesday 5th July, 10:00 - 12:30

Convenor:

Professor Melanie Nind (NCRM, University of Southampton)


Abstract Details

Competence in research methods needs to be acquired, maintained and further developed. The emphasis is moving toward creating researchers with transferable, advanced skills gained via ongoing training. Within NCRM, capacity-building effort has focused on short courses and online resources, with a relatively recent focus on the teaching and learning models being employed. Papers in this session explore the distinctive pedagogic challenges in the field of social research methods and the challenges of talking about and understanding that pedagogy. The aim is to look at these issues from different perspectives in seeking to develop the pedagogic culture in this arena.
