Description
You will explore, and learn to critique, qualitative research in education, and you will be introduced to some key methodological issues by looking at published and unpublished qualitative writing across different sub-fields of educational research. You will learn about different epistemological and methodological approaches and, by the end of the course, you will have a good awareness of the issues and components you need to design a small-scale qualitative research project of your own.
