グローバル教養特別演習II（９）
Qualitative Research Method
This course is designed to introduce students to the theoretical and methodological foundations of qualitative research and how qualitative research is designed, conducted, analyzed, and evaluated in social science.
From Weeks 1 to 2, we will focus on understanding different approaches to qualitative research and learning how to read and evaluate qualitative research. From Weeks 4 to 7, we will focus on interview research, including research design and ethics, developing interview questions, conducting interviews, and analyzing interview data through coding. From Weeks 8 to 10, we will move on to fieldwork, covering research design and ethics, preparation and practice, data analysis, and writing qualitative research. In Weeks 11 and 12, we will return to the evaluation of qualitative research and consider the practical challenges, limitations, and lessons that arise in the actual research process.
Students will be able to
–Understand the concepts and theories of qualitative research method,
–Plan qualitative research with attention to research ethics,
–Discuss the strength and limitations of the applied research method, and
–Evaluate the validity, positionality, reliability, generalizability and feasibility of the planned method.
