Lesson 5 Triangulation

Learning outcomes • To identify what is triangulation. • To consider the advantages of triangulation and the limitations. • To consider complementary combinations of research

Just the methods of research? • You should also look to see if you need a combination of different data types when planning your research.

A 360˚ approach • Triangulation means carrying our research in a number of ways to gather evidence on the issue. • Why bother? • Increases validity of results. • Considers all possibilities. • Stronger research is produced. • However… • It can be time consuming • Different pieces of research can contradict each other.

Do you need to carry out triangulation? • LO 3 of the Individual project MB 3 requires that you : • “Detailed, effective and comprehensive research selecting, obtaining, collating and referencing appropriate, complex secondary and primary information” • So yes you will need to carry out triangulation as part of your IP.

Progress check and recap • Revisiting all the research methods, both primary and secondary, you have looked at over the previous lessons what combination of methods do you think would compliment each other? • Why?
