The Social Research Association is a charitable membership organisation that runs training courses for researchers, most at foundation level.
This one-day course in central London, ‘Introducing the social research landscape’, will show you how to conduct research, whether as part of your job or for a professional development qualification such as a diploma, Master’s degree or PhD. It will also help you to manage your research alongside work, family, and social life. The course covers the whole of the research process from planning to dissemination, and is applicable to qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method research. The focus is on practical information to save you time, effort and stress.
Some aspects of research run through the whole project: reading, writing, ethics, and time management. Others occur at specific points in the process: planning, data collection, data preparation, data analysis and dissemination. Our focus in the morning will be on good practice in planning and managing all these aspects of research. In the afternoon, you will use your new learning to plan your own research project – whether a project you are conducting, or are about to conduct, or one you would like to conduct. There will also be an opportunity for you to raise any unresolved issues you may have encountered, or are currently grappling with, in the course of conducting research. There will be plenty of practical advice and tips offered throughout the course, and by the end of the day you will be much more knowledgeable and confident about conducting research.
Everyone attending this course will receive a complimentary copy of the course book, Research and Evaluation for Busy Practitioners: A Time-Saving Guide, written by the course tutor and published in 2012 by The Policy Press.
Price for SRA members: £195. Non-members: £250.
