Abstract

As the data collection method influences further data analysis and the kind of conclusions that may be drawn from your study, this course aims to outline the merits and the pitfalls of using (semi-structured) interviews as a method for qualitative data collection. A concrete step-by-step procedure for preparing your interviews will be outlined, including hands-on training in practicing one-on-one semi-structured interviews. The following topics will be discussed: introduction in the types of interviews, epistemological and ontological questions of interviewing, designing an interview study, practical considerations, online interviews, data-analysis, and ethical considerations.

Prerequisites

This course can be combined with an additional 1-day advanced interviewing FLAMES course which will be organized on 8/2/2022.
