1.5: Research methods to research learning related needs (EWSETA)

Topic Overview
In Topic 4, we learned about searching and using different sources of information to prepare our contextual profile. You should also refer to the next topic (Topic 6) to learn more about how to engage with stakeholders. This topic explores the important principle of working in respectful, reciprocal and non-extractive ways when gathering information from people. In this topic, we are learning how to gather information from stakeholders to prepare to produce a contextual profile (You learnt about contextual profiles in Topic 3) for our NRM learning activities (We learned about this in Topic 2). You will be provided with the tools to conduct your interview required for completing your assignment for Module 1 (Outlined in Topic 1). Context is very important and to understand the context, and NRM issues, we need information from multiple sources which we learned about in Topic 4. In this topic, we will learn about how we access and mobilise that information.
