Kuvaus

The course is designed for PhD students at early stages of their research but should be useful for early career qualitative researchers in general. It consists of contact teaching and distance learning, thus, taking a blended approach to enhance learning. At first, we explore the ontological and epistemological foundations of qualitative research; only after getting a grasp of the hidden philosophical assumptions, we proceed with learning about the diverse ways in which rigour can be evaluated.

Osaamistavoitteet

After the course the students will have an overall perception of the premises of qualitative research
