Course contents :
|
| Qualitative approaches are fruitful to produce theories congruent with phenomena that interest humane sciences. However there is no simple reciepe for qualitative research. Its learning requires a regular practice, in order to be able to construct accurate theories by yourself. This course is designed as a framework for such a learning-in-action. Grounded Theory Methodology (GTM) is referred as a formalisation of qualitative research rather than a particular technique. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
- Label the operations of qualitative research using the terms from the Grounded Theory Methodology : microanalysis, labelling, open coding, axial coding, selective coding. All peculiarities of each of these operations have to be known.
- Compare various text material
- Identify, sort and organize topics from one of several texts. Generate accounts at a theorical level.
- Write and edit (coding, analytical, theorical, storyline) memos according to accurate their styles and rules
- Update log
- Listen and learn from other analyses
- Generate theories accounting broader situations
|
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
|
- Strong methodological background
- Fluency in French
|
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The introduction consists in a reminder of qualitative research operations.
- Labelling
- Code memoing
- Theoretical memoing
- Operational memoing
- Axial coding
- Selective coding

After this introduction, the seminar consists of data sessions. The teacher helps students in the productions of fine-tuned grounded theories. |
|
