Introduction to Research Methods
Description
This Introduction to Research Methods provides a practical introduction to the process of academic research in theology and ministry. You’ll learn how to identify a researchable topic, develop clear research questions, and choose appropriate methods for investigation. Through analysing examples of published research, engaging with key readings, and developing your own proposal, you’ll gain confidence in designing and communicating a viable research project.
Whether you’re preparing for a project or doctoral thesis, this unit will equip you with the tools to investigate Christian texts, ministry practice, and contemporary issues with clarity and rigour.
