EDPB5018: Research in International Education
The unit focuses on investigation and analysis of modes of research in international education, and related issues in cross-cultural research. Students review and analyse various modes of research. Issues of data quality and range, the role of international organisations in providing data and shaping debates, and issues of power that should be negotiated in cross-cultural setting are examined. Having surveyed different methods, such as forms of scientism, ethnomethodology and post-colonialism, and had opportunities to consider their relative strengths and weaknesses, students examine implications of using different methods in a comparative study of two different methodological frameworks.
