Description

The development of a research culture in human services is an important challenge for educators, managers, practitioners and students. As the nature and scope of research activity and opportunity are diverse within the human services, this course aims to provide a basis from which students can begin to develop knowledge, skills and engage in critical analysis of qualitative research undertaken across a range of human services settings. By introducing a range of qualitative research methods and enabling students to experience manageable research assignments, students will become increasingly familiar with the business of qualitative research and how it fits within theory/practice/research human services frameworks.

Prerequisites

Any 30 points of Human Services at 200 level including HSRV204. Students without this prerequisite but with at least 60 points at 200 level or above in appropriate courses may enter the course with the permission of the Programme Coordinator.
