A unique course based on the research methods learning exercises that the instructor (Dr Anna Heyman ) has found to be most effective, over a 19 year period of teaching and training dissertation students and novice researchers. The course is doubly unique in the fact that it explains meta-analysis alongside systematic review, so that students can include meta-analysis in their systematic reviews and understand the whole spectrum of literature review types.

Lecture one - the links between research processes and professional problem solving
2 lectures06:17The links between research processes and professional problem solving Uses a well known docudrama based on real life research project, to explain how professionals will often use lay hypotheses to understand new challenges at work, and what academics and academic sources can add to this process.Key terms to check What is a hypothesis?
Which two things were mentioned in the lecture, as regards the contributions that academic knowledge can make to lay theorising?
