I. Course Title Practical Research 1: Qualitative Research

II. Course Overview
A. Introduction
Qualitative research is a type of social science research that collects and
works with non-numerical data and that seeks to interpret meaning from these
data that help understand social life through the study of targeted populations. It
is typically focused on the micro-level of social interaction that composes
everyday life. This type of research allows the researchers to investigate the
meanings people attribute to their behavior, actions, and interactions with others.
Moreover, this course develops students to investigate meanings, interpretations,
symbols, and the processes and relations of social life. Because its focus is
everyday life and people's experiences, qualitative research lends itself well to
creating new theories using the inductive method, which can then be tested with
further research.

ofan assessment that something is wrong, amiss, or imperfect in the current state
of knowledge or practice.
Unit 2 facilitates the establishment or development of a research background
critically engaging researchers from refereed journals and other literature that will
help establish the need to answer the research problem identified in module 2.

Module 3: QUALITATIVE RESEARCH: THE DATA

Unit 1 aims to help the students identify and describe the Qualitative Research
Design that is most appropriate to use to address identified research problem.
Unit 2 assists students to gather data through observation and interviews
following standard policies, guidelines, and principles.

Module 4: QUALITATIVE RESEARCH: PRESENTING THE DATA

Unit 1 intends to analyze, present and discuss the data collected while unit 2

activity accomplishments. Have your planner or calendar of activities
ready. Remember that you have other modules to accomplish for this
semester. Try to anticipate possible conflicts between personal and study
schedules and make appropriate adjustments. Be very conscious of your
study schedule and always remind yourself of deadlines.
2. Focus your attention. Make sure that you do things one at a time.
Read each material over and over until you are able to get the gist of the
lesson.
