See you next week

Let’s recap briefly on what we have covered this week and look forward to what’s in store for Week 2.

Congratulations on getting this far. By now you will have a good understanding of the purpose of qualitative research and have begun to conceptualise the many ways it can be approached.

Next week in the course, we’ll delve into more practical considerations which will help you to:

• identify key qualitative data collection methods
• conduct effective interviews
• formulate strategies to analyse qualitative research data
• prepare a planning document for your own research project.

Your task

In the comments section, share what you are looking forward to the most next week. Until next time, keep working on identifying a potential research question (if you haven’t decided upon one already) and continue to reflect on your biases and assumptions that may impact on your interaction with others.
