Teaching research methods
Presenter(s): Melanie Nind
The idea of the NCRM videos on teaching research methods is to stimulate thinking about how we teach (and learn) social science research methods. The aim is to connect teachers of methods to ideas from other teachers gathered through the Pedagogy of Methodological Learning research project. This is part of an overall aim to build pedagogic culture in the research methods education and training arena. We include how we researched methods pedagogy as well as some of the findings and their practical application.
Teaching research methods: pedagogy of methods learning
This video is about teaching research methods. It's one of a series and the focus of this video today is on the methods that we used in the study which was around the teaching of research methods, so lots of methods about methods. I worked on the pedagogy of methodological learning study with my colleague Sarah Lewthwaite and her ideas are very much in this video as well as mine.
Practical guidance from the pedagogy of methodological learning project
This is the second video in a series on this theme. The first one is around the methods that we used in our pedagogy of methodological learning study to really begin to understand and talk with and generate some evidence and pedagogical culture around the teaching of research methods. This video, the second one, is around just sharing some practical guidance with you around two core themes which come very strongly in our findings.
