-Case study offers an opportunity to study a particular subject, for example:one organisation, in depth, or a group of people and involves gathering and analyzing information that may be both qualitative and quantitative.
-Participant Observation is usually described as ethnography, this is where the researcher becomes a working member of the group or situation to be observed.
-Participative Enquiry;this is about research within one’s own group or organisation and involves the active involvement and co-operation of people who you would normally work and associate with on a daily basis.
-Action Research;involves an intervention by a researcher to influence change in any given situation and to monitor and evaluate the results.Requires active co-operation between researcher and client and a continual process of adjustment to the intervention in the light of new information and responses to it from respondents.
-Feminist Perspective;focuses on knowledge grounded in female experiences and is of benefit to everyone, but particularly women.
