Learning unit contents

The way teams have conducted their previous research was imposed. It's now time for them to conduct their qualitative research on their own. Now teams decide when it is necessary to collect data or to consult a scientific article, and how to do so, collectively. This cpuse thus offers a framework to expérience therotecal sampling.

The student will be able to:

  • write up a qualitative research question,
  • determine how to collect qualitative material,
  • actively participate to a collective team work,
