The module aims to support and not supplant student-supervisor mediations in the development and, conceptualizations of a coherent and cogent research proposal for the degree requirement of a dissertation/ thesis. The overall aim of the module is directed toward incrementally building and augmenting key research skills and competencies specific to Sociology, Policy development studies, and Information Studies, but also generic to the Social Sciences and Humanities. The intention is to equip a student to make their own methodological decisions in the light of the epistemological and pragmatic issues surrounding any given study. The content is structured to enable students to identify a suitable research problem/ question, develop a research proposal that presents a rationale for their choice of study design, methods and methodologies. The course will address issues such as, the fundamental elements and principles of social research, including research design, methods, and methodologies. The seminars aim to provide students with an enabling, inclusive, and active learning environment.
