We are not only expected to understand it but we have to evidence both critical analysis and methodologies in our dissertations. The research project has to undertake an individual approach to research and it has to be logical, systematic and testable. Being critical is a part of the methodology, good critical analysis is necessary to create a cognitive methodology, basically methodology and critical analysis has to be synthesised.
Methodology is one of the learning outcomes so we need to evidence it, also develope it. Although all research projects have a methodology even if it's ill though out. Basically it's a system or a way off "finding out stuff". The word methodology is scietistic but it's meaning is pretty streight forward. Like for example: hypothesis - testing - observations - conclusion.
Use the word METHODOLOGY!! And point out where it's being used.
Also it is necessary to consider other methodologies and weight the pros and cons, choose the most logical one, therefore being critical and defend your choice.
"Methods are tools, methodologies are discussion of these tools"
The introduction of the dissertation has to be about the question and seriously defending the methodologies. It can have the research process broken down and given separate attention. It can establish a core quote or writer that has driven the research and why.
Epistemology is thinking about the ways of thinking, so using epistemology is difficult but awarded with points because it demonstrates a high level of critical analysis.
Being critical is being able to separate and choose, or coming with a hypothesis and trying to disprove it, being objective and introducing logical reasoning to your research.
Criticality is also about thinking about the artists and where they are from, to help understand where their work is coming from, contextualising it.
Think about where am I coming from?
How is my choice of topic influenced by my emotions, aspiration, context? Serious self criticality.
CONTEXTUALISE EVERYTHING!! It might be influenced by some perspectives- Marxist, sociological, fundamentalist.
Use triangulation - cross contextualising!
