Researching Archaeology
Archaeological knowledge is generated through research, whether undertaken in an academic, commercial, public or private environment. As students, you are recipients of the knowledge gained through research, and you will also participate in the research process through involvement in fieldwork and the production of your Dissertation. But how does research happen? Who does research? Who consumes research? How is it funded or supported? What are the constraints and ethical issues encountered while undertaking research? Most critical of all, what makes good archaeological research?
In this module we guide you through the archaeological and heritage research process, from planning, to implementation, and final dissemination through publication and other media. This will be achieved by introducing you to a range of real-life research projects, drawing upon the diverse and rich experience gained by departmental staff and external researchers. Looking back and looking forward, the module will aid your understanding of the fieldwork you may have participated in during the Field and Practice module, and help in guiding you through the process of researching and writing your Final Year Dissertation. -

Researching Language, Culture and Communication in the Global World
This module will introduce you to solving real world problems in the area of Language, Culture and Communication with research methods including forms of discourse analysis, questionnaires, interviews and narrative inquiry.
You will reflect on some key issues such as the nature of knowledge, theory and data. This will allow you to critically evaluate studies and their research methods, and to design your own study or intervention. You will also discuss practical challenges of designing and conducting research such as defining research questions, identifying appropriate methods, research management and problem solving, writing up research, ethical issues, presenting research and thinking reflexively about research.
You will also be introduced to the option of producing a professional project as an alternative to the traditional dissertation. -

Researching Learning and Education
This module aims to prepare you for the rest of the programme and so it is intended that you will develop study skills that will support you in concurrent and subsequent modules. You can expect to develop your knowledge and understanding of the complexity of the interaction between learning, learning theory and learning contexts. It will give you opportunities to articulate your own approaches to learning and consider the range of ways in which learners and teachers can influence this process. You will be encouraged to be critical and analytical. -

Researching the Environment
This module enables you to build on your research skills in preparation for running your own research in part 3. Building on the research skills learnt in part 1, you will work in small groups to first refine a broad research question into a testable and focussed question. You will then design and plan a field data collection campaign, with responsibility for all logistic organisation as well as ensuring the data collected enables you to address the research question. Finally, whilst on our residential field course, you will carry out the data collection before presenting your findings as a poster to the rest of the group. After working through this process, you will reflect on the challenges you faced, successes you achieved, and how you can put this learning into practice when working on your dissertation. -
