The 9th Innovation in Teaching of Research Methodology Excellence Awards at ECRM 2024

The ECRM conference was held at ISCAP on 4 and 5 July. The 9th Innovation in Teaching of Research Methodology Excellence Awards took place at this conference, where the CEOS.PP integrated researcher, Dr José Manuel Azevedo, was a member of the evaluation jury.


Teaching research methodology is a core component in developing new researchers, however it is often a major challenge for many academics to pass on this knowledge and skills. To b a competent researcher it is necessary not only to acquire skills in the techniques, but also to have an understanding of the philosophical issues which underpin research. As a result, many research methodology courses can be superficial with the emphasis being placed on collecting and analysing data. This may not be sufficient for the purposes of quality academic research. However, some good work is being done in this field in various parts of the world and the Innovation in the Teaching of Research Methodology Awards provides an opportunity to highlight such initiatives.
