This course offers students an advanced introduction to
qualitative research methods. Qualitative research is a research
strategy that emphasizes large bodies of unstructured data (textual,
graphical, audio, and video data) that cannot be meaningfully analyzed by
formal, statistical approaches. Students will learn how to set up a
qualitative research project and will be informed about different
qualitative research approaches such as case study research, grounded
theory, ethnography, or design science. The course gives students the
opportunity to discuss and reflect on how to construct a research
question, craft a qualitative research design, collect and rigorously analyze data with the help of qualitative data analysis methodologies
and procedures, as well as evaluating the quality of qualitative
research.
