HDR Support Group:Research Design 2nd September 2013
Aim of Today’s meeting • Opportunity for you to share your research design with the group and seek feedback and advice
What is the research design? • The research design refers to the overall strategy that you choose to integrate the different components of the study in a coherent and logical way, thereby, ensuring you will effectively address the research problem; it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement, and analysis of data. Note that your research problem determines the type of design you can use, not the other way around! (Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, B. 2006, Part 1, What Is Research Design? The Context of Design.
