SUMMARY:NCRM Training- Qualitative research for quantitative researchers
DESCRIPTION:As a rule\, our courses cost £30 a day for UK/EU students and £60 a day for UK/EU academics\, researchers or public service staff. Register for the event here. \nThis event is aimed at quantitative researchers at all career stages who are seeking an overview of what qualitative research is and what doing it involves. The day will be structured around answering seven key questions: \n\nWhat is qualitative research and how does it compare to quantitative research?\nWhat types of data do qualitative researchers work with?\nHow are such data collected?\nHow are such data analysed?\nWhat tools and resources have been developed to assist in these processes?\nHow do qualitative researchers judge whether the outcomes are any good?\nHow might qualitative research complement quantitative research?\n\n  \nThrough examination of these questions\, with reference to examples\, delegates will learn how qualitative research sits alongside and has the potential to complement quantitative research. Delegates are also encouraged to identify to the event organisers in advance any further questions related to qualitative methods that they would like to be addressed during the event – these should be sent to gcrow@exseed.ed.ac.uk

SUMMARY:NCRM Training: Using Creative Research Methods
DESCRIPTION:As a rule\, our courses cost £30 a day for UK/EU students and £60 a day for UK/EU academics\, researchers or public service staff. Register for the event here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis course will outline creative research methods and show you how to use them appropriately at every stage of the research process. The course assumes that you have a good working knowledge of conventional research methods\, and builds on that knowledge by introducing arts-based methods\, research using technology\, mixed methods\, and transformative research frameworks such as participatory and activist research. Any or all of these techniques can be used alongside more conventional research methods and are often particularly useful when addressing more complex research questions. In the afternoon you will have the opportunity to try applying these methods in practice. Attention will be paid to ethical issues throughout. The day will include plenty of practical advice and tips on using creative methods in research. \nThe course covers: \n\nArts-based methods\nResearch using technology\nMixed methods\nTransformative research frameworks\n\nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\n Have a good level of knowledge of creative research methods\n Understand how to use creative methods alongside more traditional methods\n Understand when to use creative methods in research\nKnow how creative methods can add value to funding bids\n\nThis course will be relevant for researchers from the third sector\, public services (e.g. health\, criminal justice\, social care\, education\, local or national government)\, and those who work in independent research organisations or academia. It is an intermediate level course and attendees will need a good working knowledge of traditional research methods. \nPreparatory Reading \nAlthough not required\, participants may wish to purchase the book on which the course is based: Creative Research Methods in the Social Sciences: A Practical Guide\, by the trainer\, published by Policy Press. NB: if participants sign up for the monthly e-newsletter produced by Policy Press\, they will receive a substantial discount on the book.

SUMMARY:NCRM Training: Introduction to Data Linkage and Analysing Linked Data
DESCRIPTION:As a rule\, our courses cost £30 a day for UK/EU students and £60 a day for UK/EU academics\, researchers or public service staff. Register for the event here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis short course is designed to give participants a practical introduction to data linkage and is aimed at researchers either intending to use data linkage themselves or those who want to understand more about the process so that they can analyse linked data. Day 1 (Introduction to Data Linkage) will cover examples of the uses of data linkage\, data preparation\, and methods for linkage (including deterministic and probabilistic approaches and privacy-preserving linkage). Day 2 (Introduction to Analysing Linked Data) will cover processing of linked data\, concepts of linkage error and bias\, and handling linkage error in analysis. The main focus of this course will be health data\, although the concepts will apply to many other areas. This course includes a mixture of lectures and practical sessions that will enable participants to put theory into practice. \nThe course covers: \n\nOverview of data linkage (data linkage systems\, benefits of data linkage\, types of projects)\nOverview of linkage methods (deterministic and probabilistic\, privacy-preserving)\nThe linkage process (data preparation\, blocking\, classification)\nClassifying linkage designs\nEvaluating linkage quality and bias (types of error\, analysis of linked data)\nReporting analysis of linked data\nPractical sessions\n\nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\n Understand the background and theory of data linkage methods\n\n\nPerform deterministic and probabilistic linkage\nEvaluate the success of data linkage\n\n\nAppropriately report analysis based on linked data\n\nThe course is aimed at researchers who need to gain an understanding of data linkage techniques and of how to analyse linked data. The course provides an introduction to data linkage theory and methods for those who might be using linked data in their own work. Participants may be academic researchers in the social and health sciences or may work in government\, survey agencies\, official statistics\, for charities or the private sector. \nThe course does not assume any prior knowledge of data linkage. Some experience of using Excel or other software will be useful for the practical session.

SUMMARY:NCRM Training: Understanding small areas: spatial analysis of population and neighbourhood data
DESCRIPTION:As a rule\, our courses cost £30 a day for UK/EU students and £60 a day for UK/EU academics\, researchers or public service staff. Register for the event here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis two day workshop equips participants with conceptual understanding and technical skills to obtain\, analyse and visualise spatial data related to populations and neighbourhoods. Using freely available data related to the UK\, a series of guided workshops enable participants to: \n\nobtain census and survey data related to geographic areas\nvisualise\, map and explore spatial patterns within individual and neighbourhood data\napply a suite of powerful spatial analysis tools and techniques to address real-world policy relevant questions at the small area level\nuncover spatial characteristics and properties of small area data\nunderstand how to convert data between different geographic boundaries used for data dissemination and the limitations of doing so\nclassify small areas and individuals based on their characteristics and understand their widespread application in neighbourhood analysis\nexplore novel near-real time user-generated data from social media\nappreciate the technical\, ethical and legal challenges and opportunities for working with individual level population data.\n\nHands on training introduces participants to powerful spatial analysis software (ArcGIS) as well as the programming language R. Practical sessions are interspersed with lecture and discussions to contextualise and consolidate learning. Examples are drawn from the UK and are applicable in an international context and in a variety of application areas at different spatial scales. \nParticipants also have the chance to discuss their own related research or applications with other participants and the course tutors. \nPopulation and neighbourhood data are widely used by the academic\, policy-making and commercial sectors. \nThey drive resource allocation\, decision making and policy evaluation. On completion of this course participants will be able to: \n\nidentify the population and neighbourhood data required to develop or enhance their application interests.\napply and critique relevant spatial analysis techniques to geolocate\, explore and visualise these data.\ncommunicate insights gained to support policy-evaluation\, commercial decision making or address research questions.\n\n  \nPrerequisites: \n\nNo prior knowledge of statistical or spatial analysis is required. ArcGIS and R will be taught from scratch with a focus on learning the essential skills required to handle\, visualise and analyse data related to populations and small areas. This course is not designed to provide comprehensive training in programming using R. However\, it will equip participants with tools grounded in R to execute advanced analytical tasks relating to the acquisition\, processing and representation of social media data using a live\, real-time data feed from Twitter as an example. Participants will leave with detailed training materials allowing them to confidently apply these tools independently.\nParticipants must be willing to sign up for a Twitter account but are not required to populate it with any personal information. They will need to use their account to pre-register to use the Twitter API. Full instructions are provided during the course.\n\n  \nRecommended Reading: \n\nParticipants may find it helpful to familiarise themselves with the excellent NCRM resources introducing geographical referencing found online at: http://www.restore.ac.uk/geo-refer/resources.php\n\nAdditional reading material and web-based resources will be recommended during the course
