Abstract
This paper analyses the flow-line around the methodology used inside an educational research process that was originally established to examine the expansion of the International Baccalaureate’s Diploma Programme (IBDP) in England. This paper analyses the Research Question, then assesses the Research focus, aims and objectives. The paper then subsequently, briefly, critiques the research problem: how the expansion of the IBDP turned into a rapid decline of the qualification inside the post-16 state sector, so that the research process had to be amended. This paper subsequently analyses the research problem that this generated: explaining the discussion of the flow-line, the reasons for the research method choice, and the chosen research paradigm and philosophy of critical realism. The research process analysed in this paper comes from a completed Doctor of Education (Ed.D) which adhered to both the university’s and BERA’s (2011) ethical guidelines.
