- Course objectives
- The course is taught only in Czech. The aim of the course is to develop the students’ practical skills in the area of qualitative data analysis in the light of relevant theoretical background. The students are expected to work with qualitative data (recordings of interviews, classroom teaching, etc.). The data will be analyzed by the students within the course for the purposes of their theses. The course focuses on selected aspects of data collection (selection of participants, entering the field, fieldwork, making recordings, ethical issues) and subsequent work with the data (various techniques of transcription, coding, interpretation and analysis using selected software tools). Attention will also be paid to research reports, selection of data excerpts, issues of generalization and the role of theory in interpreting data in various traditions of qualitative research. The research traditions will be selected on the basis of the needs of the students and the foci of their theses (e.g. narrative research, ethnography, grounded theory, conversation analysis).
- Learning outcomes
- The students will understand basic principles and procedures in qualitative data collection and analysis in selected research tradition, including related ethical issues. The student will be able to design a research project for a specific problem, to address the underlying assumptions and selected appropriate procedures of data collection as well as to collect the actual qualitative data (e.g. a classroom recording, an interview with a learner). The student will be able to process the data (e.g. transcribe, code, interpret, analyze) and to write at least a part of a research report. The students will be able to present the outcomes of their research both in spoken and written form. The presentation will be in line with the requirements relevant to the selected qualitative research tradition (e.g. trustworthiness, persuasiveness, accuracy, impact on the community).
- Syllabus
- Main topics (the following is a preliminary outline; the actual topics will be selected and sequenced with regard to the needs of the students enrolled in the course): Session 1: Presentation of the students’ topics, requirements. An outline of qualitative research traditions. Data collection in qualitative research (e.g. interviews, classroom video-recordings): underlying assumptions, preparation, realization, ethical issues. Transcription in qualitative research, transcription conventions, software tools. An outline of data analysis, the relationship between transcription and data analysis. Session 2: Coding, interpretation and data analysis. Types of coding and codes, software tools that can be used in qualitative coding, practice of selected coding techniques and related analytical procedures (constant comparison, creating categories/topics, relationship among the codes, creating typologies of cases). Specific aspects of working with recordings, selected tools for synchronizing transcripts and recordings, microanalysis of selected sequences, creating a collection of sequences, practice of selected techniques and analytical procedures. Session 3: Preparation of qualitative research report: possible structures, working with data excerpts, working with theory. The issue of generalization in selected qualitative research traditions. Requirements related to qualitative research report (e.g. trustworthiness, persuasiveness, accuracy, impact on community). Oral presentation of findings and defence.
