Include: (1) the most common research paradigms relevant to this discipline and how to explain them accessibly, (2) a sequence for introducing quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods, (3) the most challenging concepts to grasp and how to teach them (validity, reliability, sampling, thematic analysis), (4) practical activities that give students hands-on experience with each method, (5) how to connect research methods to real questions students care about.

  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When teaching research methods and wanting to make abstract methodological concepts concrete and meaningful.

PRO TIP

Research methods make sense when students have a research question they genuinely want to answer β€” start with the question, then introduce the method as the tool to answer it.
