RESEARCH APPROACHES TO PROFESSIONAL ISSUES A
EDU6RAA
2021
Credit points: 30
Subject outline
EdD students are exposed to a range of methodological approaches that may be useful for their thesis. These include experimental, quasi-experimental and correlational designs as well as qualitative approaches such as historical, naturalistic, ethnographic and case study methods. Action research and other approaches to blending qualitative and quantitative methods are also examined. This subject represents the first semester of an all-year subject. In the second semester, students concentrate on the process of thesis proposal writing, data gathering, understanding the limitations of their design, the assumptions behind their proposal, and the extent to which they wittingly and unwittingly may influence the data.
