Are you going to collect your own data using in-depth interviews, surveys, and/or focus group discussion? Wondering how to plan and monitor your data collection progress? This is a 2-hour webinar event on “Managing data collection: Preparation and monitoring”. The webinar will combine presentation, small-group discussion, and whole-class reflection. This workshop focuses on how to plan, organise, manage, and monitor data collection.

The event explores the benefits of bringing mindfulness to postgraduate research, for the benefit of the researcher and the research project. Through group discussions, writing exercises, and mindfulness practices, the attendees will consider the “emotional labour” of research, such as writer’s block, procrastination, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome.

This training focuses on designing and conducting efficient interviews. Attendees are expected to: 1) understand the nature of conducting various interviews; 2) know how to design interviews; 3) share and discuss their interview plans; 3) understand the key factors of engaging various interviewees; and 4) conduct mock interviews in different circumstances.

Stata has varied and powerful data visualisation capabilities which can be hard to master. Participants will receive training on how to create data visualisations that aid in every stage of the research process, analyse the purpose of visualisation critically, and employ a streamlined and logical workflow using the Stata software.

This interactive workshop helps you 1) learn NVivo on your own or with your peers, 2) use the software for qualitative as well as mixed methods research, 3) employ it to save time and effort in your everyday tasks of reading and research-based writing.

This event suits students interested in collecting cross-country data online and considering employing an online co-creation workshop. The event is entirely virtual and will provide participants with the foundational knowledge necessary for designing and conducting co-creation workshops using Miro.
