Teaching research methodology is a major challenge for many academics.


To be a competent researcher it is necessary not only to acquire skills in the techniques, but also to have an understanding of the philosophical issues which underpin academic research. Traditionally, these are often not well understood. As a result, many research methodology courses are quite superficial with the emphasis being placed on collecting and analysing data. This is not really sufficient for the purposes of quality academic research.
There are many academics who believe that research methodology is difficult to teach. The tried and tested classroom-based approaches used in most other subjects do not sufficiently address the nuances which students need to be aware of in order to understand the implications of research techniques adequately to become a successful academic researcher. This is because ultimately research methodology needs to be about more than simply collecting data and then manipulating it. However, some good and innovative work is being done in this field in various parts of the world. And many universities are changing the way they teach research methodology to help educate and develop young researchers.
