CHL5150H: Data Collection Methods for Research and Evaluation Projects

The purpose of this course is to prepare graduate students for the collection of quantitative and generation of qualitative data for research and evaluation projects. Using interactive weekly sessions, students will learn how to choose between and implement a variety of methods. Students will also learn how to align their projects to social justice-oriented agendas, assess issues of representation and positionality, and use community-based research approaches. For each method, we will examine common challenges and mistakes, and threats to validity, trustworthiness and fidelity. We will focus on the most used and a few novel methods of data collection and generation.

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
