DOING SOCIAL RESEARCH IN HONG KONG:
THE POVERTY RESEARCH PROJECT


A Student Training Manual & Film Documentary on Social Research Methods
by Stewart MacPherson, Sarah Horoyd, Gina Sequeria and Lo Oi Yu
City University of Hong Kong.


This teaching manual and accompanying film documentary
(both in English) have been
produced to demonstrate the design and implementation of a social
research project.


The Poverty Research Project has been chosen as the focus so
that students can have a taste of the actual research process.
The design of the Poverty Research Project combines theoretical
principles and the use of both qualitative and quantitative
applied social research methods. The intention is to enable
students to follow the development of research from the research
question, through study design and methodology, and onto the
analysis and interpretation of results.


The film is presented in two 30 minute parts, and is designed
as a valuable teaching device which can be used independently
as an educational tool to demonstrate key research principles.


The accompanying 179 page manual provides further definition
and clarification of the research concepts and techniques that
are covered in the film.


Part One of the film deals with the issues of poverty in its
social context and Part Two deals with research design, implementation,
analysis and the role of research in society.


The film and manual form a teaching package on social research
methods and is available for purchase.
