Description:
The course introduces you to various techniques and strategies for the writing up of your qualitative data.
After collecting and analysing our qualitative data we can be faced with vast swathes of data and excerpts which we need to make sense of and order appropriately in order to communicate a clear and engaging story to our audiences. Writing is also a vital means through which qualitative researchers make sense of and think about their data. Therefore, it is both process and product.
This introductory course is mainly suitable for researchers who have completed data collection or at the least are currently in the midst of data collection and/or analysis. It provides participants with the skills needed to write up and present their qualitative data and findings. In addition to presentations, this training includes practical elements such as workshop discussions, examples of qualitative data, and application of various strategies for writing up.
By the end of the course participants will have knowledge of various ways of writing up and presenting qualitative data and how this differs from the presentation of quantitative data. They will be able to align their writing to the principles of qualitative research in order to effectively communicate their insights.
