Course Description

This course will introduce the topic of research in the context of counselling. The following questions will be addressed: What is research? How and why might counsellors do and use research? What does research tell us? How is research read critically? Asking questions such as: How can the results be generalised? Are there limitations (such as the way the sample was selected)? Are the results reliable? How adequate or convincing is the way in which concepts used in the research are applied? Are there serious omissions in the work? Are there other ways of explaining the results of the study? Are the methods used appropriate? How is a literature search undertaken? What is a good research question? How can answers be found? What methodologies are relevant to the field of counselling research? How are these located in terms of disciplinary perspectives? What kind of ethical considerations are important in counselling research? How can the results of research be reported?
