Session: Meeting the challenges in teaching research methods
Time: Tuesday 3rd July, 10:00 - 12:30
Convenor:
Professor Melanie Nind (NCRM, University of Southampton)
Abstract Details
Teachers/trainers face the challenge of building competence with research methods. This session examines these challenges using the lens of pedagogic research in the field. Research has illuminated how practitioners are responding to the pedagogic challenges in the research methods arena. First, three researchers present evidence from their recent or current pedagogic studies. This is followed by an interactive workshop in which session participants use the typology from the Pedagogy of Methodological Learning study to share, explore and develop approaches, strategies, tactics and tasks for teaching different methods and responding to different challenges.
