100 Activities for Teaching Research Methods

100 Activities for Teaching Research Methods

Catherine Dawson

A sourcebook of exercises, games, scenarios and role plays for research methods tutors, teachers and lecturers, this practical, user-friendly guide has been developed to complement and enhance existing course materials. It is full of activities that contain clear guidance about the purpose, level and type of activity, along with a range of discussion notes that signpost key issues and research insights. Important terms, related activities and further reading suggestions are included for each activity.


The book contains 100 ready-to-use activities that provide a complete and valuable resource for educators, all of which are also available to be downloaded online.

Innovative and engaging classroom practice is encouraged in seven areas:

• finding and using sources of information

• planning a research project

• conducting research

• using and analyzing data

• disseminating results

• acting ethically

• developing deeper research skills

Every university with a Social Science department has to deliver research methods in some capacity, but there is no need for us all to sit in our institutional silos and reinvent the wheel. Dawson provides a huge and varied list of pre-designed activities for methods teachers to draw upon covering the whole research process and an eclectic range of methodological approaches. The activities are pedagogically engaging, comprehensively resourced and provide us with an opportunity to rethink how social science research methods can be taught in a more interactive and engaging way.
