Description

Emergent research methodologies address approaches to research where the researcher is active in the context of the research, as well as in the design and analysis of the research. In many cases other participants also become co-researchers and knowledge is generated iteratively. In some cases, knowledge is generated by the community with the researcher as their agent.

Learning Outcomes

  • By the end of this course successful students will have demonstrated their ability to:

  • Critically discuss a range of research approaches including Kaupapa Māori, action research, praxis-based research, arts-based research and research into the aesthetic, design-based research, research and development. They will be able to identify the commonalities of the approaches, describe their distinctive features, and validate the kinds of knowledge generated.

  • Identify and work within models of research that recognise and respect cultural diversity, group and individual expertise within authentic research settings where the focus of attention is on interests of the participants and/or community.

  • Identify, discuss, and address ethical principles, practice and issues that arise within such research.

  • Call on and utilise one or more philosophical construct(s) to justify selection of a research approach.

  • Develop a methodological justification for a research project that utilises an appropriate form of embodied research.
