Here are the key points about using games as a research method for data gathering:
- Games can be used as an interactive way for respondents to express themselves and provide information.
- One example is Wilson's "Neighborhood Game" where respondents make a series of linked choices to indicate preferences or opinions. The choices they make provide data.
- Games make the research process more engaging for respondents. They are less overtly like a formal questionnaire.
- By making choices in a game-like scenario, respondents may feel more comfortable sharing opinions compared to directly answering questions.
- The structured nature of games still allows researchers to systematically gather standardized data from responses that can be quantified and compared.

The document provides an overview of grounded theory, including its definition, history, uses, and evaluation. Grounded theory was developed in the 1960s by Glaser and Strauss as a qualitative research methodology to build theories inductively from data rather than testing existing hypotheses. The key steps involve collecting data through methods like interviews, coding the data to identify concepts and categories, and developing a theory grounded in the data to explain a process. The theory is evaluated based on its connection to the raw data and usefulness in explaining the phenomenon under study.

Research involves systematically gathering knowledge through objective methods. It aims to solve problems by defining issues, formulating hypotheses, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting conclusions. The key types of research are descriptive, analytical, applied, fundamental, quantitative, qualitative, conceptual, and empirical. Research requires carefully determining the scope, objectives, methods, and design to efficiently obtain reliable results and further knowledge.

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

9. The two main research approaches are
Deduction - theory and hypothesis are
developed and tested
Induction – data are collected and a theory
developed from the data analysis
10. Deduction
5 sequential stages of testing theory
» Deducing a hypothesis
» Expressing the hypothesis operationally
» Testing the operational hypothesis
» Examining the specific outcome of the enquiry
» Modifying the theory (if necessary)

11. Induction
Building theory by –
» Being concerned with the context of events
» Using more qualitative data
» Using a variety of data collection methods
» Permitting alternative explanations of what’s
