Learning unit contents
Qualitative research aims to access the subjective dimension of human experience in order to better understand what motivates people and how they give meaning to their actions.
Lessons aim to give an overview of qualitative research and its diversity of epistemological referents, methods and approaches (phenomenology, grounded theory, narrative approach, etc.).
