Content
This course offers students a basic introduction to qualitative research methods. In this tutorial, students come together at Leuphana and discuss the online lecture's content in more detail. The students will conduct their qualitative research projects, and we will have time to answer questions and look at published studies as examples of how to conduct qualitative research.
A primary goal of this tutorial is advancing students' research projects, which will make up 70% of the final grade. The research projects are group-based projects of about three students. The students will conduct their qualitative study and present interim results within this tutorial (30% of final grade). While the students themselves will develop their individual research questions, the broader focus of this seminar will be on digital transformation. Students are asked to interview people for their research projects and maybe even collect further qualitative data, if applicable. The online lecture will be used to discuss current challenges, and the students will apply the lecture's theoretical constructs in practice.
After completion of the course, students shall be able to:
- know about the difference between qualitative and quantitative research and be able to identify when to use a qualitative approach
- know about a research design and the different approaches of conducting a qualitative research
- analyze qualitative data with the help of computer software
- reflect on quality criteria of qualitative research
