Mapping the Methodology (Department of Education Doctoral Researchers only)

In this session we will unpack with you the steps you have already taken to identify the focus of your research. Through this discussion we will help you consider the ways in which the research focus and the related methodology are directly influenced by your knowledge, the ways you view the world, and your role as researcher. This is one of the key aspects of doctoral research and one that by the end of the process, you need to be confident to write and speak about.
