Explore your own values, beliefs, and experiences. Work alongside other professionals from similar areas of practice. Develop your skills to become a reflexive practitioner researcher.
Suitable for professionals working in a range of human service organisations – including social work, community and youth work, health, and education – this short course will help you become a reflexive practitioner researcher by promoting research-mindedness in the workplace.
You'll have the opportunity to study alongside other professionals from similar areas of practice and collaborate on a piece of group research. The course aims to address the barriers that practitioners can face in terms of what research is and what it involves by focusing on the idea that practitioners already have the skills and knowledge to conduct research due to existing experience.
Reflexivity will be utilised throughout the course to support you to reframe your skills by making links between practice and research. You'll be encouraged to explore your own values, beliefs, and experiences to develop a better understanding of yourself and the position of others
The course is delivered via seven two-hour interactive workshops and three two-hour group supervision sessions.
You'll complete a co-constructed piece of group practice research with your cohort based on Emancipatory Practice Development where service evaluation takes a bottom-up approach, looking firstly at how practice is received. The topic of the practice research will emerge through the teaching process and will be based on an area of research relevant to you.
