Qualitative Research Interviewing in Education: Theories and Methods
Course Description
Interviews are one of the most commonly used methods to collect data in the social sciences with Holstein and Gubrium (1995) estimating that 90 percent of social science investigations use interviews. Thus, it is critical for educational researchers in the social sciences to understand the value and importance of different types of qualitative interviews and to gain experience in utilizing this data collection strategy. This course aims to 1) introduce the theoretical background and rationale behind qualitative research interviewing and 2) build up one's ability to plan, conduct, and analyze qualitative interviews. During this course, learners will engage with a range of interviewing theories and approaches, question types, and transcription and data analysis procedures. The course includes a mixture of lectures, workshops, and applications tasks which are strategically integrated to scaffold learners understanding of and ability to conduct qualitative interviews.
