Class Methods of Scientific Research and Data Analiysis II

The CU seeks to provide students with practical skills in qualitative data analysis. It focuses on the application of different analysis techniques and, specifically, on two methodologies most directly related to the field of psychology: interpretative phenomenological analysis and narrative analysis.

Teaching methodologies (TM) promote active learning, the construction of knowledge and the development of practical skills. The interactive exposition (TM1) provides solid theoretical foundations, and the interactive dialogue (TM2) complements it, promoting the collaborative construction of knowledge. The practical example cases (TM3) promote the understanding of the application of different methods/techniques of qualitative data analysis, and the interactive practical activities in the laboratory (TM4) involve students directly in the procedures of the qualitative analysis methodologies covered. Guided demonstration (TM5) and guided tutorials (TM6) support the application of research techniques. The "hands-on" technique (TM7) involves students in practical procedures, being complemented by the guided practical project (TM8). Mentoring (TM9) ensures continuous monitoring and feedback, guiding the coding and critical reflection process.   .
