An Introduction to Qualitative Inquiry

The wealth of qualitative research methods and strategies for analysis can be overwhelming to beginners as well as those who have experience with qualitative approaches. This two-day workshop introduces participants to basic approaches and methods for qualitative inquiry.

Primary topics addressed include:

  • a survey of qualitative data collection methods: interviewing, participant observation, documents/artifacts
  • qualitative research design
  • a survey of qualitative data analytic methods
  • writing and presenting qualitative research
  • Multiple activities will be included throughout the course to provide participants with experiential knowledge, skill building, and methods literacy.

Newcomers to qualitative inquiry will benefit from this course by gaining workshop experience in the basic methods of qualitative research for future study and application. Experienced qualitative researchers will benefit from this course by refreshing their knowledge bases of methods, plus observing how introductory material is approached with novices for future applications in the classroom. Course content is adapted from Saldaña and Omasta’s textbook, Qualitative Research: Analyzing Life (2nd edition, 2022, Sage Publishing).
