Education Student Centre| Subject Overview: | Approaches to the collection, display and analysis of qualitative data in education and social program evaluation are examined using current evaluations as models. Topics include: orientations to, and criticisms of, qualitative approaches; planning qualitative data collection using particular strategies and methods of data collection (such as interviews, focus groups, participant observation, case study, story telling and document analysis, and the use of visual media); the use of systematic methods of data reduction, display and content analysis (using both hand methods and appropriate computer packages); and issues of the rigour and trustworthiness of conclusions drawn from qualitative analysis. Methods by which qualitative findings can be reported to various audiences are also considered. |
