Overview
Key facts
It steps “outside or beyond existing ways of thinking about” multiple lines of enquiry to a research problem (Mason 2011:76). It approaches a research question as a gemstone, imagining that the different sides or facets of the gemstone will refract ‘light’ or knowledge in different ways depending on how the gemstone is illuminated. It aims to demonstrate how facets can be examined as being “connected and entwined”, rather than separate entities (Mason 2011:79). Facet methodology offers researchers a creative way to explore the connections within complex phenomenon.This course will provide an introduction to the approaches and uses of facet methodology, and how it can be used within research through practical examples and in our own research design. It will also evaluate and differentiate facet methodology from other methods.
University of Surrey's Introduction to Facet Methodology programme will teach you more about this topic.
