| Summary: | The field of engineering has workshops incorporated in its stream of study as a space for the research
on and innovation of a unique idea. However, in the field of education, workshops are limited to
teacher education and professional development programmes. This paper discusses the possibility of
using workshops as a qualitative research approach for Educational Research. To elaborate on this
concept, the authors of the paper will inform the readers of the procedures they used in conducting a
series of five workshops titled, “Critical thinking through writing Workshop” with 15 pre-university
students in a public university in Malaysia in the fall semester of 2017. The findings show that
workshops accommodate many characteristics of a qualitative study and can be considered as a
research approach for the field of education. |
