This course will provide an opportunity
for participants to establish or advance their understanding of research
through critical exploration of research language, ethics, and approaches. The
course introduces the language of research, ethical principles and challenges,
and the elements of the research process within quantitative, qualitative, and
mixed methods approaches. Participants will use these theoretical underpinnings
to begin to critically review literature relevant to their field or interests
and determine how research findings are useful in forming their understanding
of their work, social, local and global environment .
