1 Principles and Core Concepts
Welcome to Principles and Core Concepts, the opening section of the Start Here micro-learning module. This section introduces shared language and foundational ideas that support IDEA-informed research—helping clarify key terms, surface common assumptions, and orient learners to the ethical, relational, and practical considerations that shape inclusive research design and practice. As you move through the chapters, you’ll find concise explanations and examples, before offering a practice-oriented space to support you when translating IDEA into concrete actions.
