Introduction to Education Research in the Health Professions and Sciences course

This course is designed to introduce participants to health education research methods. Through a mixture of plenaries/webinars, peer/group activities, and self-directed learning participants will develop foundational knowledge and skills to support their education research.

Topics include:

• Theories underpinning research
• Core methodological approaches - Scientific approaches, Interpretivist approaches, and Critical inquiry approaches
• Ethical issues
• Literature reviews
• Proposal development
• Dissemination and impact

Through these topics, participants will explore the connection between the language of conducting and evaluating education research using the core methodological approaches and their practice in health professions and sciences. Each topic will prompt participants to reflect on their learning, with the aim that these reflections will help them plan their own projects using appropriate methodologies and methods.
