This is an introduction to Unit 4 Enquiries into Current Research in Health and Social Care.

There is also 3 PowerPoints to explain qualitative and quantitative research methods, primary and secondary research and the importance of being valid, reliable, non-bias and ethical. Also included is a short starter task, a research task on the different methodologies and their advantages and disadvantages and a practice task to allow the students to start to develop their research skills.

This introductory work enabled them to develop their understanding of research methods and the importance in relation to health and social care.
