Are you interested in improving your research approach in educational settings but feel unsure about where to start? Join us for a friendly and informative workshop designed specifically for those new to research. We’ll introduce you to the basics of research methodology and show you how combining Quantitative and Qualitative Methods through Mixed Methodology can enrich your pedagogic studies.
Speaker: Dr Cuie Xu, Lecturer in Korean
What You Will Learn:
  1. Introduction to Research Methodology:
    Don’t worry if you're new to research! We'll break down the core concepts of research methodology in simple terms, helping you understand why a solid methodology is essential for answering your research questions.
  2. What is Mixed Methodology?
    We’ll guide you through the idea of Mixed Methodology, which combines both Quantitative (numbers, statistics) and Qualitative (observations, interviews) approaches. You’ll learn how using both types of data can provide a more complete picture of your research topic, especially in educational and pedagogic contexts.
  3. Practical Applications for Pedagogic Research:
    Learn how to apply these methods to your own work. We’ll go over clear examples from educational research, showing how mixing both qualitative and quantitative data can lead to deeper insights about teaching and learning.

  • Beginner-Friendly: No prior research experience needed! This workshop is designed to guide you step-by-step, with easy-to-follow explanations.
  • Boost Your Research Confidence: Learn how to choose the right approach for your pedagogic studies and develop research designs that are both effective and meaningful.
  • Collaborative Learning: Connect with colleagues from your field and explore how research methods can be applied to common challenges in education.
  • Practical Tools: Leave with practical tips and methods you can immediately apply to your own research projects.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your research practices, this workshop will help you gain a better understanding of how research methodology can enhance your pedagogic studies.
We look forward to helping you take your research to the next level with easy-to-understand methods and practical tips for success.
