Læringsmål:
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
describe how research objects are identified and delimited
identify elements within their research paradigm
describe different research methodologies and their relevans i relation to specific research tasks
analyse a research project and identify relavant methodologies
identify and discuss core ontological and epistemic aspects of their project
identify and discuss methods of relevance for the practical execution of research
write a contribution to the methodology part of their thesis
discuss different ways to narrate research results
Kursusindhold:
Before the first session the participants are asked to distribute a short presentation of their PhD project.
First session: The first session will comprise of presentations and discussions on how to identify research objects and questions, followed by discussion of how to choose relevant methodologies to cover the research questions. The session will conclude in a first attempt to identify research objects and the general approach by each of the participants in groups leading to the first assignment.
To be presented at the second session the participants are given the assignment to identify their research object and argue for the choice of approach and provide this in a written presentation.
Second session: Second session will comprise of presentations of different methods and their relation to theories, hypothesis, assumptions etc. chosen for their practical relevance to the projects of the participants.
Before the third session the participants are given the assignment to develop a specific part of their research methodology to be used in an article or potentially as part of their thesis.
Third session: The third session will comprise of follow up presentations and discussions based on the contributions from the PhD students followed by presentations and discussions emphasising the role of the learning environment and interactions for research as well as the evaluation and assessment of research results and approaches.
The course will end with a general course evaluation following up on the discussion of how to organise and improve research training.
