Course objectives (in Czech)
Jedná se o pracovní výzkumný seminář ("work-shop"), který je současně vstupem do strategií kvalitativního sociologického výzkumu, do způsobu formulování výzkumného záměru, výběru komunikačních partnerů a vytváření komunikační situace v konkrétních výzkumech. Zahrnuje stručnou informací o jednotlivých kvalitativních výzkumných technikách. Jeho cílem je však především prakticky procvičit vedení hloubkového kvalitativního rozhovoru a interpretaci takto shromážděných dat (pořízení audiozáznamu a jeho zpracování). Po úvodním seznámení se s technikou budou účastníci semináře vést a zpracovávat samostatně vlastní rozhovory v rámci dohodnutého výzkumného projektu (work-shop věnovaný práci, diskusím o zkušenostech a návodům na další postup).
