Document Summary
Week 1 - readings - gray & malins. Planning the journey: introduction to research in art and design. Research is a process of accessible disciplined inquiry. It is essentially generic but should be framed and customized by a particular discipline and subject area. The identification of a "hunch" or tentative research proposition, leading eventually to a defined and viable research question. The need for your research in relation to the wider context, in order to test out the value of your proposition, locate your research position, and explore a range of research strategies. The importance of developing an appropriate methodology and specific methods for gathering and generating information relevant to your research question, and evaluating, analysing and interpreting research evidence. Challenges you to think about the significance and value of your research contribution, not only to your practice but to the wider research context, and how this is best communicated and disseminated.
