DEVT 4005 - Research Methods in International Development

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2022

This course will provide Honours students with a strong foundation in the conceptualisation and operationalisation of research, how to design a research project and 'hands-on' skills in the utilisation of different research methods in International Development. Students will be exposed to a wide range of research methods used in the context of international development, and will learn key principles of research design and implementation. Some topics that will be covered in detail include participatory research, interviewing, case study analysis, focus groups, and analysing and presenting data. Intellectual and methodological debates will be discussed in order to assist students to develop informed opinions and a critical appreciation for other's research. The imperative for ethical research practice will be presented. Students will be equipped with the knowledge and ability to undertake methodologically sound, original research projects (their Honours thesis project) and will develop a set of transferable workplace skills.
