Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Within this course, students gain practical experience in the field of qualitative research.
Basic concepts of qualitative research will be presented and discussed. Furthermore, the course will focus on differences and convergences of qualitative and quantitative research approaches and methods, application areas and limitations of qualitative approaches as well as quality criteria of qualitative research.
The students conduct a (joint) study assessing a relevant research question, collecting data by applying qualitative methods. The students learn how to formulate a research objective, to develop research questions, to choose adequate research methods, to collect and evaluate data, to prepare these data for presentation purposes, and to formulate a research report documenting the research process.

Assessment and permitted materials

The overall score is composed of partial performance, which is carried out partly as group work and partly as individual work.
The assessment includes the following: co-operation, presentations, individual steps of creating a research design, data collection (e.g. interviewing and implementation), interview transcription, data analysis, presentation of the results in the final session, submission of a research report. Students write a research protocol documenting the research process.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Assessment: Documented, active participation in the research project.
Submission of assessment-relevant tasks. (see above)
Research design (questionnaire, exposé, research instrument: 25%
