Content |

Evidence oriented scientific
arena today relies heavily on numbers. However, there
are areas specially those related to complex ways of human
thinking and behaviour in real life situations need an
additional approach to be explored. Relevant numbers are
simply not adequate and may not reach the deeper aspect
of multifaceted human interactions and intricate phenomena
associated with. Consequently, many solutions formulated
through merely reducing numbers appear ineffective.
This short course has been developed for beginners who
are currently involved in research and are interested
to apply qualitative methods in their area of work. Throughout
the course, basic philosophy of applying qualitative perspectives
along with pertinent issues of qualitative research methods
and applicability of various instruments of gathering
qualitative data in systematic, scientific and ethical
ways will be discussed. In addition, field visits will
be arranged to gather first-hand experiences on data collection,
data management and analysis. Software for qualitative
data analysis and generating references will be briefly
demonstrated. |
