More Learning Tables: AS Research Methods

Today’s Table offering is everyone’s favourite revision topic (research methods in case you actually need to ask) and all of the Tables were written / assembled by Miss K Elles, except for those that weren’t.

The Tables cover the major research methods plus a little bit of research methodology (positivism and interpretivism plus stuff on choice of method, value-freedom, objectivity and subjectivity) and mainly focus on knowledge with little bits of application and evaluation thrown-in.

If I had guess – which I do because I don’t know for sure – I’d say these were early-version Tables where the more-complex structure of later Tables hadn’t been established.

Alternatively they may just have been knocked-out quickly to fulfil some necessary teaching and learning void.

Either way, you and your students may find the following Tables useful:

• Secondary Sources
• Experiments
• Surveys
• Sampling
• Observations
• Positivism and Interpretivism 1 (Georgia Banton)
• Positivism and Interpretivism 2 (Georgia Banton)
• Factors influencing choice of method (Isaac Carter-Bown)
• Value-Freedom (S Dale)
