- 33Terminology to do with research (context dependent)• Method
• Methodology/Methodologies • Theory - 34Method– How data is collected: e.g. survey, interviews, observation, ... (Social research, Hitchcock & Hughes 1995: chapter 2)
– How a particular piece of research is carried out, e.g. textual analysis (Literary studies, Griffin 2005: 5)
– Tools (Cultural studies, Saukko 2003: 8) - 35Methodology/Methodologies– More comprehensive than method: how research should be carried out (Hitchcock & Hughes 1995: chapter 2)
– How you bring a theoretical (e.g. a feminist or Postcolonial) perspective to your reading of your text (Griffin 2005: 5-6)
– More comprehensive & dependent on approach to research – connected to "philosophical and political commitment" (Saukko 2003: 8)
Please note [Method/Methodology not always distinguished, e.g. the scientific method] - 36Theory– Construction of knowledge: e.g. you form a theory based on your findings (Hitchcock & Hughes 1995: chapter 2)
– Specific theory, e.g. Postcolonial theory, ... that is applied to the reading of a text in a systematic way (Griffin 2005: 5-6) - 37Methods & methodology"Methods and methodology often go together, so that a hermeneutic methodological approach, which aims to gain a 'thick' understanding of other people's experience, often goes with a method, such as participant observation, that allows for the scholar and the people being studied to develop a mutual trust with each other. However, same methods can also support different methodological commitments. So, the interview method can be used to support a realist methodological approach, which aims to gather 'factual' information , or to support a hermeneutic methodological quest to gain a thorough understanding of a person's life story[...]"
(Saukko 2003: 3) - 38The relevance of research literacy in your personal, educational and professional contexts Helps with:• Academic work at university: finding and evaluating sources
• Further education, professional development
• Personal context: understanding information/research base of information out there; identifying misinformation, hoaxes
