UM LEVEL D - Doctoral Workshops/Symposium

 
MQF LEVEL Not Applicable

 
ECTS CREDITS Not Applicable

 
DEPARTMENT Doctoral School

 
DESCRIPTION The workshop introduces the principles of Repertory Grid as a versatile method that is gaining widespread popularity among mixed methods research strategies. The programme covers a comprehensive approach starting from the principles of mixed methods down to the choice of Repertory Grid by relating to the nature of the research question and the method’s implications on sampling, data collection, analysis and interpretation of results.

Outcomes:

By the end of this workshop, doctoral researchers should:

- locate repertory grid across the ontological continuum of research
- differentiate between the different types of mixed methods research strategies and justify repertory grid as the method of choice with respect to specific research questions
- plan and conduct repertory grid data collection in a diversity of organizational and social settings relying on the Personal Construct theory
- analyse qualitative data collected through a repertory grid approach using Idiogrid™ software to bring out principal components from individual grids both separately and collectively
- plan and implement precautions to maximize the robustness of the repertory grid method.
