Over deze cursus
This advanced course is for students in any program who will analyze qualitative data either to prepare more structured data collection methods (e.g. questionnaires) or to draw conclusions directly. Historically ⅔ of the participants are MSc and the remainder are PhDs. Participants come from all chair groups. The course starts with a quick and fundamental review of the nature of subject response data and the role of the researcher in lending meaning. The techniques covered are argument, content, conversation, metaphor, domain, and membership categorization analysis. These are then combined to support systematic review, frame analysis, situational analysis, discourse analysis. The use and limits of models (e.g. LLMs) for these methods are discussed and their exploration is supported.
