This unit offers research training that guides you on how to specify and detail a question or problem that is important and requires research to resolve. Various ways to review other researchers’ work and determine if further research is needed. The importance of determining the conceptual framework as well as an appropriate method for gathering relevant data, and then interpreting the data is noted.
You will also follow protocols to ensure your research develops within a culturally appropriate and ethical manner.
