Welcome to "Research Methodology/Forskningsmetodik" at Dalarna University

Most of the lessons in this course will be taught at Campus Borlänge. Recorded material will sometimes be made available on our learning platform Canvas, and Zoom will be used for digital meetings. Except the course literature, most materials are written in Swedish. The primary language of communication will be English; however, you will still have the option to form your groups taught by Swedish-speaking teachers for seminars and supervisions.

This course introduces you to all stages of the research process, regardless of which program you are studying. During this course, you will learn about:

• scientific approach
• research strategy
• quantitative
• qualitative studies or mixed research
• reliability
• validity.

You will work on, among other things:

• analyzing and critically reviewing other people's scientific reports
• writing and conducting scientific work
• conducting quantitative and qualitative analysis.

I Kursbok VT25.pdf hittar du även information om kursens lärandemål, kurslitteratur, examination och andra viktiga saker att ha koll på som student. 

We hope that you will be inspired by interesting and challenging discussions with your fellow students and us teachers. Like all teaching at Dalarna University, the teaching in the course should be based on theoretical and scientific foundations as well as proven experience. We see the group as an important resource in all course activities and participants from previous courses have particularly emphasized that the discussions that arise in the groups are very valuable.
