Introduction to qualitative research methods
This course is intended to give an overview and hands-on introduction to qualitative research methods, as used in the social sciences and in health-related research. Methods introduced include individual interviews, focus groups and participant observation, as well as research design, ethical issues, data analysis, mixing qualitative and quantitative methods and writing up findings for publication. The course contains lectures as well as more informal small group and practical sessions that provide a hands-on introduction to conducting interviews, focus groups, observations and computer-assisted data analysis. There is an emphasis on learning through practical tasks and participation.
Day 1 introduces Qualitative Research and Interviewing techniques. Day 2 covers Study Design (including qualitative sampling) and Focus Groups. Day 3 focuses on Ethnographic and Observational Methods. Day 4 covers Data Analysis (including coding, thematic analysis and computer-assisted qualitative data analysis). Day 5 considers Mixing and Integrating Methods, Writing up research findings for publication, and scoping Project Designs in a Structured Workshop.
