HED 605 – Qualitative Methods in Higher Education
This is an introduction to the use of qualitative research methods in higher education research. It covers a range of qualitative approaches and the key dimensions of various epistemological paradigms, while also addressing the thinking and designing of research in a qualitative way. Examples of the various options for conducting qualitative research will be explored. Students will be able to apply what they've learned to effectively critique an existing study or to create an original proposal of their own in order to engage and apply the readings and the fundamental concepts and ideas learned in the class.
