Welcome to PBL and Mixed Methods
In this PhD course there will be focus on research design for how to study problem- and project-based learning by applying a mixed methods approach. Mixed methods are a comprehensive research design applying both qualitative and quantitative methods which can be combined in various ways depending on the research questions.
The course will start by focusing on formulation of research questions in a PBL curriculum, followed by introduction to mixed methods designs and the advantages and disadvantages by different mixed methods combinations.
The participants will work on a research design for one of four cases that will be presented to the participants. There will also be possibility to work on own research questions as well as research designs.
There will be pre-tasks before the course will start. This will be sent out just after deadline for the course. And there will be a final reflection on the research design.

Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 5,000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately three months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
