Overview
Issues In Research With Children And Young People module at The Open University UK explores topics central to the research process such as ethics, diversity, power and the responsibilities of researchers. This is a project-based module with no exam and it will help you to develop your own research and analytical skills using audio, video and online materials.
Support from your tutor
You’ll have a tutor who will help you with the study material and mark and comment on your written work, and whom you can ask for advice and guidance. The module also involves voluntary participation in an online forum and you will be encouraged to take part.
The majority of tutorial provision is offered on-line. When face-to-face tutorials are offered we aim to provide them in a range of locations students can travel to, though we cannot guarantee availability close to where you live. Online alternatives are always provided, and recordings of these will typically be made available to students.
Student numbers on the module, and where tutors are based, will affect the locations of where face-to-face tutorials are held. We cannot guarantee that face-to-face tutorials will be hosted in specific locations, or locations that have been used previously. While you’re not obliged to attend any of these tutorial events, you are strongly encouraged to take part.
