Introduction to Qualitative Research Methods in SoTL
Wednesday, October 16

The aim of this session is to provide an overview of the foundational concepts in qualitative research methods as they apply to the design of teaching and learning research. We will explore the purpose of qualitative research and the methodological characteristics that distinguish it from quantitative research. We will also discuss key qualitative paradigms and approaches, such as phenomenology and grounded theory, the role of the researcher in qualitative studies, and strategies to enhance the trustworthiness of qualitative research. The session will conclude with guidance on formulating research questions in qualitative studies. This session is the first in a series on qualitative research methods; subsequent sessions will cover reliability, data collection methods, data coding, and analysis.
