Content
The objective of this course is to introduce students to the qualitative research process, focusing on the steps that follow the construction of a problem statement and the formulation of a research question: the steps of designing a qualitative research project, the collection and analysis of qualitative data. The aim is to train students in the epistemological and methodological principles of qualitative research, the main strategies for collecting and analyzing qualitative data, and the main issues related to the validation of qualitative material. This teaching unit consists in offering students an overview of the different qualitative research methods as well as the opportunity to experiment with one of them: the semi-structured interview.
Teaching methods
The course is organized in 5 lecture sessions and 3 practical sessions (guidance and feedback sessions), structured around a few key themes. The course sessions are based on lectures and interactive moments (exercises, discussions) organized in such a way that the students mobilize and appropriate the concepts and tools presented in the course. Theoretical lectures alternate with practical exercises throughout the course. This practical application allows students to use the methodologies, to learn how to design a qualitative study, to conduct interviews, to code data and to ensure a theoretical reflection. The practical sessions are designed to allow students to verify their understanding of the methodological principles and tools presented during the course sessions and to advance in the development of the work that will serve as the basis for the evaluation.
Evaluation methods
The evaluation is composed of the following two parts:
A) A group work based on a qualitative research approach;
B) An individual work based on a reflection on the research process that has been implemented.
The final grade will consist of two integrated parts (group work and individual work). Successful completion of these two parts is essential to demonstrate the skills and knowledge defined in the learning outcomes of the teaching unit. A failing grade for the group work or the individual work will result in a failing grade for the whole course.
Identical evaluation procedures for the first and second exam session.
