Learning unit contents
The course offers an overview of the qualitative research methods used in adult education, particularly through current questions and themes in this field.
Three ranges of objectives are pursued and linked to adult training:
- awareness of qualitative analysis;
- preparation for the methodological procedures of the dissertation;
- preparation for the implementation of actions to collect and analyze qualitative data.
The stake is to help the students to approach the methodological aspect of an interpretative research mobilizing qualitative analysis tools.
Emphasis will be placed on concrete actions by the cheucheur or the qualitative researcher: conducting an interview or an observation, transcribing field data, qualitatively analyzing and reporting on their research efforts.
The course offers cooperation between registered students but also with current memorizers whose thesis objective is in adult training.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
- distinguish subjectivity and neutrality in an interpretative research;
- analyze an interview to propose coherent results (with the research object) and grounded (in the studied field);
- position oneself in the reflective and ethical dimensions of qualitative research;
- report on the methodological progress experienced during the research actions implemented.

Recommended or required readings
We draw the students' attention to the "introductory" nature of the course. Many questions and a variety of practices will be addressed during the sessions and through the discussions. This course is a kind of "appetizer" on research methods and qualitative analysis, which hopes to whet the appetite ... It is therefore by no means an exhaustive approach.
Thus, it is also up to each student to seek scientific literature that addresses the methodological concepts addressed (with the support of the course supervisors).
Written work / report

The evaluation criteria taken into account will be detailed in lesson 6.
