Qualitative Methods in Educational Research Spring 2020

This group serves as a space for members of Dr. Wendy Luttrell’s course Qualitative Methods in Educational Research (Spring 2020 semester). This course focuses on the elements of qualitative research design as a vehicle to introduce students to different traditions, approaches and epistemologies that characterize qualitative research within the field of education. Thus, it includes an emphasis on formulating researchable questions; considering different strategies for data collection, analysis and the representation of findings; understanding and wrestling with ethical considerations; formulating strategies to ensure reliability, validity, and credibility; and preparing to engage the qualitative research process as a series of decisions in which some things are lost and some things are gained (i.e. being aware of both the limitations and strengths of one’s research design).
