This course covers the designs that are used to collect, analyze, and interpret data for select qualitative and mixed-method methodologies (namely, Grounded Theory, Ethnography, Narrative Research, Phenomenology, Mixed Methods, Action Research, and Indigenous Research Methodologies). Students will receive a specific understanding of these methodologies in educational research through an exploration of their definition, historical development, key characteristics, and the procedures of conducting and evaluating a study. In particular, students will engage in the following cyclical and iterative process of qualitative analysis: preparing and organizing data for analysis; exploring the data through the process of coding; using the codes to develop a general picture of the data; representing the findings through narratives and visuals; interpreting the results through personal reflections on the impact of the findings and on the literature that informs the findings; and conducting strategies to validate the accuracy of the findings.

Prerequisite(s): ERES 800.
Restriction(s): Course open to students in the College of Education.
