Abstract
First paragraph: Teaching research methods at the post-graduate level presents a characteristic set of challenges that are not always or even often found in teaching at the undergraduate level. There are, for instance, questions as to whether the teaching of generic approaches and methods in terms of the traditional binary of quantitative and qualitative methods is either effective or provides for a good student experience. There are also issues around the necessity of providing either discipline-specific teaching, or specialized inter-disciplinary methods training that is tailored to particular combinations of disciplines present in any study. Furthermore, there exists a healthy debate, particularly in the arts, humanities and social sciences, on what, indeed, constitutes research as such.
