Metodi di ricerca qualitativi

Semestre 2 · 64218 · Corso di laurea in Scienze dell'educazione · 7CFU · DE


The students acquire fundamental theoretical-methodological and practical-methodical knowledge in qualitative educational and social research. The course covers methods of empirical data collection as well as various approaches to analysis and interpretation. These methods are not only introduced, but also practically applied by the students. The selection of methods is guided by their relevance to the professional practice of social educators. In addition, students train to read empirical studies and critically assess their quality, to take research ethics standards into account, to engage in well-founded methodological reflection, and to develop their own research design.

Module B — Metodi qualitativi per la ricerca educativa e sociale (LAB)

In the accompanying laboratory, students deepen the methods presented in the lecture and apply them in practical, exemplary exercises. They practice selected procedures of qualitative data collection (e.g., interviews, observations, document analysis) as well as data analysis and interpretation using empirical data. Additionally, they train to critically read and evaluate empirical studies, implement research ethics standards in practice, reflect on methodological decisions, and develop their own research designs.
