CASE 90812 - Qualitative Research Methods in Education

Credits: 3

This course introduces students to qualitative research as an approach to exploring and understanding problems of access, success, and equity. This course is required of all PhD students because it lays the foundation to rigorous qualitative empirical research. Beginning with questions of epistemology and an interrogation of competing paradigms, it supports the goals of the program, college, and university by requiring students examine their stance as they undertake research in key areas of access, success, and equity. At the completion of this course students will have fully conceptualized and carried out a qualitative study and written a research paper that can be submitted to a conference.
