Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Qualitative Research Designs provides an overview on social science methodology. In the first part of the course the participants will be introduced to causality, research questions, hypotheses, dependent and independent variables, validity and reliability and case selection. In the second part of the course the participants will be introduced to a series of qualitative methods, indicating how the choice of which method to use is governed by certain logic inherent in the rationale of the research and the methodology employed.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
The course is assessed by three components:
1. A paper of max. 10 pages presenting the research question, hypotheses and thoughts about the dependent and independent variables as well as discussing validity and reliability. The paper should take its focus on the Master's thesis which the participant is either working on or will start work on, or on a theme of interest to the participant. The paper counts for 40 per cent of the final mark. The paper must be handed in electronically by 15 June. This paper must be in English.
2. A paper of max. 10 pages building on paper 1 and using one of the presented methods to develop the variables, test the hypotheses and answer the research question. The paper counts for 40 per cent of the final mark. The paper must be handed in electronically by 15 August. This paper can be in either German or English.
3. Regular and active participation in the class is required and it counts for 20 per cent of the final mark. Participants who miss more than two classes will not receive a mark for the course. All participants signed up for the course must attend the first class if he/she wishes to keep the place in the course.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The aim of the course is to make the participants familiar with research design and qualitative methods commonly used to collect and analyse empirical data, such as document analysis and interviews. The course will provide the participants with enough information on each topic to be able to perform their own analysis as well as providing a base for further research and independent study.
Prüfungsstoff
The didactic goal of the course is to make the participants able to use the presented research designs and methods actively. Thus, the lecturer will act as a discussion leader and supply the necessary theoretical input. It is expected that the students participate actively in the course by discussions in both the plenary and smaller groups.
Literatur
The main literature for the course will be the three books mentioned below, as well as a number of articles and book chapters in both English and German. Articles and book chapters will be made available through the e-learning platform as will one of the books.Gary King, Robert O. Keohane & Sydney Verba (1994): Designing Social Inquiry.
