Bien que les organismes de financement et leurs exigences en matière de candidature diffèrent, tous les organis?mes de financement attendent des éléments importants, qu'il s'agisse de petites ou de grandes subventions. Ces éléments, dont l'impact de la recherche est primordial, seront abordés lors de l'atelier.

Participants will be discussing the ten measures of success in the doctoral process. For instance, identifying th??e research construct, the context of the research, being able to identify and work within the appropriate research paradigm. In addition, have clarity on the level at which the research needs to be conducted to adhere to the requirements of a doctoral degree – remember it is not just another masters degree. Hence, in a way, we will work backwards to what is needed in order to complete the project successfully as well as identify the bottlenecks and deal with them.

Part 1 provides fundamental knowledge of several interlocking topics important to our understanding of qualitative research methodology design and implementation. Part 2 extends our understanding of qualitative approaches as participants learn more about the practice and conduct of qualitative research. This course will draw upon examples from participants’ own research interests that we will hone through collaborative problem-solving and instructional strategies. Upon completion of this course, participants will gain a deeper understanding of qualitative research and will have refined and practiced the skills needed to design and conduct their own studies. |
