Study Participants

Research skills are a valued commodity by industry and university administrators. Despite the importance placed on these skills students typically dislike taking research method courses where these skills are learned. However, training in research skills does not necessarily have to be confined to these courses. In this study participants at a Cracker Barrel session (a series of short discussion sessions) discussed the issue of teaching research skills in non-research methods courses. Specific classroom strategies were identified along with issues related to the concept of research and the development of a research ethos among students and faculty.

Approach To Teaching

The ability to engage with empirical research in a meaningful way is a vital skill for public administration (PA) students and graduates. Yet, while research methods are essential skills for PA students, it is widely acknowledged that teaching research methods in the context of social science programmes and PA in particular faces challenges. To address these challenges, namely negative perceptions of research methods in combination with misconceptions about the value of methodological knowledge and skills and the resulting lack of engagement, different approaches have been put forth. These comprise stronger links between the course content and research methods as well as the integration of hands-on experiences. This article presents a reflective analysis of a collaborative approach, which integrates hands-on experience while highlighting the value of methodological skills and knowledge for public sector organisations and linking research methods to students’ future careers.

Ethics Of Research

Rosnow's (1990) role-play exercise for teaching research ethics was used in undergraduate research methods courses, and its effectiveness was evaluated. Results indicate that the exercise can be a valuable tool for sensitizing students to the factors involved in judging the ethics of research.
