| Content | This workshop will be offered by PD Dr. Tenzin Wangmo of the Institut für Bio- und Medizinethik of the University of Basel. During the two-day workshop, students will gather a vast range of information and knowledge about different qualitative methodologies, methods that can be used to carefully capture data that fits the methodological approach chosen, and discuss the analytical approach that best addresses the re-search question and concurs with the methodological approach. Specifically, we will discuss the following: (1) overview of research methodology and design of study tools; (2) designing qualitative interview guide; (3) qualitative interviewing techniques and (4) qualitative data analysis. |
| Learning objectives | (1) Appreciate the plethora of methodologies that can be followed when doing qualitative research. (2) Understand and differentiate when to use which methodology and what that entails in terms of data collection and data analysis. (3) Acquire in-depth knowledge about interview data collection, and (4) Be able to begin data analysis. |
