Research methods and issues

MHC

Dr V Willington

12 points * 8 hours per week * First semester * Gippsland/Distance

Research methods and issues has been designed around four research strands; quantitative, qualitative, interpretive and critique. The final section discusses design, implementation and method required in a research thesis of your choice. Each of the four major strands of research is discussed and evaluated in terms of history, theory and practical rationale so the reader gains knowledge in research and treats research as a tool to validate the reader's hypotheses. The subject has been developed to cater to a variety of students in education, administration, and clinical areas of study, and the content of the study guides and readings embraces the disciplines associated with these studies. Students will possess the necessary knowledge to translate those ideas that do not directly relate to their field of study, so as to increase their global view of nursing practice.
