Content
This course offers students a basic introduction into qualitative research methods. Qualitative research is a strategy to study a given phenomenon of interest through interviews, participant observations, and documents. In contrast to quantitative research approaches, these large bodies of unstructured data can often not be analyzed by formal, statistical approaches. Students will learn to differentiate between qualitative and quantitative research and to discern the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches. We will cover topics such as the nature of qualitative research, different research designs, data collection, data analysis and coding, writing up qualitative research, and ethics in qualitative research.
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 (we will use atlas.ti)
- reflect on quality criteria of qualitative research
