ELP 593SEM - Qualitative Research Methods Part I

This is Part I of a two-part course that provides students with an introduction to qualitative research methods, particularly as applied to educational settings. In order to take ELP 593, you must be willing to sign up for ELP 594 in the Spring. The year-long course is aimed at the analysis and execution of various qualitative research strategies, including an understanding of their underlying assumptions and appropriateness for particular research questions. Much of the course is practical in nature in that students engage in original research studies. Ethnographic techniques provide the major focus of the course. We will additionally reflect upon the politics and methods of this popular form of research.
