Trefnydd: Dr David Evans

In this module, students will develop their knowledge and understanding of research in a dynamic and stimulating research environment which is committed to sustaining and growing excellence in health sciences research. The module is structured focused on a series of interrelated and thematic ‘Learning Pods’. The detailed module aims are to:

• Provide students with an understanding of review, quantitative and qualitative research approaches to scientific inquiry, their methodologies and related methods.
• Focus on the application of review, quantitative and qualitative research methods within the health and social care setting, including data collection and analysis approaches/techniques.
• Enable students to be ‘critical consumers’ of research, to have sufficient knowledge to contribute in a knowledgeable way to ongoing quantitative or qualitative research and to develop research questions and projects.
• To help prepare students for the MSc dissertation module.

Topics may include:

1. The scientific method (an overview of review, quantitative and qualitative approaches)
2. Secondary data analysis techniques.
3. Systematic and Scoping review techniques
4. Preparing for ethics and governance submission
5. Writing research proposals
6. Quantitative and qualitative research approaches and their methods.
7. Applied data collection techniques; questionnaire design, interview and observation
8. Design, pilot and analyse results from questionnaires, observations and interviews
9. Writing up review, quantitative and qualitative research
10. Reflexivity and the role of the researcher in qualitative research
11. Appropriately using a statistical package (SPSS) to assist with presentation and analysis of quantitative results
12. Appropriately applying a range of qualitative techniques/methods to assist with the analysis of qualitative results
