Why this module matters

The one decision that shapes your entire study.

Choosing the wrong methodology is the single biggest reason postgraduate proposals get rejected. This workshop closes that gap in a single afternoon.

Choose the right method — fast

A decision framework you'll use for every proposal, thesis and journal paper from now on.

Defend your paradigm confidently

Ontology, epistemology and axiology — explained so you can answer any supervisor or reviewer question.

Avoid costly design mistakes

Learn the five most common misalignments between purpose, question and method — before your committee spots them.

Save months of trial and error

One expert-led session compresses what usually takes semesters of reading and revision.

Real, evidence-based examples

See side-by-side examples from published qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods studies.

Credit toward the full Level 1

100% of your effort here counts if you later upgrade to Certified Qualitative Research Associate.

What you'll walk away with

Skills, artefacts and a certificate — not just notes.

Every QRI module ends with proof of learning. This one is no different.

  • A clear decision map for choosing between qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods research.
  • Ability to articulate the paradigmatic assumptions behind each approach.
  • A short comparison artefact reviewed by an assessor — ready for your portfolio.
  • A reflection journal entry documenting how you'll apply this in your own research.
  • A QR-verified Certificate of Completion — shareable on LinkedIn and your CV.
  • A personal dashboard on QRI.TODAY to track progress and feedback.
