  Qualitative Research Methods (20 credits)

  Qualitative Research Methods

  Overview

  The aim of this module is to reach one single goal: to allow the student to develop a research proposal using qualitative methods. The research proposal can be based on a title of the student’s choice – or based on a selection we offer (see workbook 3). The module is designed to assist the student through the process of developing a research proposal in a step by step manner, one step per week. We begin by exploring some of the theoretical and epistemological bases of interpretive qualitative research and how these compare and contrast with the epistemological bases of quantitative research. In this lecture and workbook, we also invite careful consideration of how these two methodological approaches may be combined. We then guide the student through the various stages in creating a high quality qualitative research proposal from crafting an appropriate question, to conducting a literature review, to decisions about sampling and recruitment, data collection methods, and data analysis methods to considerations of ethics and responsibilities, and to write-up. Ultimately, the course acts as key preparation for the development of a student’s MSc. dissertation and further real world research proposals that you might undertake as part of your work or further study.

  Learning Outcomes

  By the time you have completed this module you should be able to produce a high quality research proposal to conduct a qualitative research study.
  The components of these learning outcomes can be broken down as follows. By the time you have completed this module you should:
  (i) be able to identify the main methodological/epistemological components of qualitative research and how they compare and contrast with quantitative research;
  (ii) be able to critically reflect upon the relevance of qualitative research methodologies in understanding health and healthcare, including for examining issues / problems which arise in the course of your work / practice / research interests;
  (iii) have developed skills for retrieving and reviewing qualitative research literature and assessing the quality of qualitative research studies;
  (iv) be able to critically reflect upon your ethical role and responsibilities as a researcher, including in relation to any role you might have as a practitioner;
  (v) be familiar with sampling and recruitment strategies for qualitative research;
  (vi) be familiar with a number of qualitative methods of social research (data collection);
  (vii) be familiar with strategies for analysing qualitative data;
  (viii) demonstrate an ability to time plan a qualitative research study.
  Skills
  The module also offers graduates an opportunity to develop a range of transferable skills.
  By the end of the course, participants should be able to:
