From Research Methods to Methodical Researcher: Making Use of the Student Voice Towards a More Comprehensive Module Evaluation

Abstract: It is not uncommon for undergraduate students to feel aversion towards research methods teaching. This does not change the fact that research methods play a key role in their education. Targeting module design is imperative to ensure success. However, end-of-module student evaluations may provide a false sense of security regarding satisfaction and learnt knowledge. In order to approach module design more effectively it may instead be necessary to view module evaluations from a delayed perspective. The present… Show more

“…In order to gain insights into the complex social phenomena and understanding the perspectives of the participants, semi-structured interviews were conducted. Openended questions were used to provide the participants with the opportunity to freely express their experiences and perspectives, enabling the researcher to gain new, unforeseen insights, giving particular space to the direct use of participants' own voices in harnessing their agency within a school setting (Cook-Sather, 2020;Hast, 2015). To ensure that the questions were understood and that the answers provided the soughtafter information, the questions were piloted in advance with three individuals not involved in the study.…”

“…This means that in order to examine how best to incorporate digital approaches to feedback provision it is important to listen to the student voice (e.g. Bradwell, 2009;Dunne & Zandstra, 2011;Hast, 2015;Kay, Dunne, & Hutchinson, 2010;McCulloch, 2009;O'Neill & McMahon, 2012;Robinson, 2012). In doing so, it simplifies the process of identifying issues and barriers that exist within the student body both for and with students -this can strengthen a sense of community and belonging, which is much needed (Sandover, Partridge, Dunne, & Burkill, 2012).…”
