This unit builds on EDF2803 Learning and researching in work-related contexts, to introduce students to the notion of different perspectives or paradigms in adult and workplace learning research. Students will be exposed to key concepts, traditions and methodologies in research, including positivism, interpretivism and alternative approaches to knowledge production. The unit extends students' appreciation of research as having different forms and purposes, and being constructed through different theoretical and methodological frameworks. -- Course Website
