We hope that you learn a lot, gain the skills and confidence you need to go out into the world and start conducting high quality interviews. </p> <p>This class is a self-paced course, so it is designed for you to take it at your own pace. Some learners will finish quickly, some over a longer period of time, it's really up to you. We want these materials to serve as a resource for you to learn from and reference again and again. </p> <p>This short course is adapted from a semester-length graduate-level course taught at MIT covering Qualitative Research Methods. We have found that the demand for more detailed instruction on components of the course was requested by a broader audience, which is why we decided to make this online course. This is the first of two courses. The first course focuses on an Introduction to Qualitative Research and Conducting Conversational Interviews, the second focuses on Organizing and Analyzing Data, and Creating Theory. </p> <p>You might have encountered other forms of interview techniques in your studies and training. The form that we are teaching is the preferred method of Professor Silbey's, one that she has used extensively throughout her career. The goal is to construct an interview protocol such that you will be able to guide your interviewee through topics of interest to your study without bringing them up explicitly, in order to explore experiences and accounts without pointing respondents in particular directions.   Not sure what an interview protocol is? No problem! You will have a good idea about protocols by the end of the course. <span style="font-size: 1em;">We will cover the following topics:</span></p> <p>1. The Science of Social Science</p> <ul> <ul> <ul> <li>What is Social Science? </li> <li>How does Social Science differ from the physical sciences?</li> </ul> </ul> </ul> <p>2. The Process of Qualitative Research</p> <ul> <ul> <ul> <li>How does Qualitative Research differ from Quantitative Research?</li> <li>What is Fieldwork?</li> <li>Conversational Interviewing and it's use in research</li> </ul> </ul> </ul> <p>3. Establishing Validity in Qualitative Research</p> <ul> <ul> <ul> <li>What are the criteria for validity when conducting Qualitative Research?</li> <li>What are the tests for validity?</li> </ul> </ul> </ul> <p>4. Conducting Conversational Interviews</p> <ul> <ul> <ul> <li>Interviewing as Data Collection</li> <li>Drafting an Interview Protocol</li> <li>Interviewing Techniques</li> </ul> </ul> </ul> <p>5. Interview Examples &amp; Discussion</p> <ul> <ul> <ul> <li>We will watch examples of good and poor interview techniques, and discuss them in detail</li> </ul> </ul> </ul> <p>6. Logistics and Ethical Concerns</p> <ul> <ul> <ul> <li>Logistics of Conducting Interviews: Finding &amp; Inviting Subjects, Recording Interviews, etc</li> <li>Ethics &amp; Human Subject Research </li> </ul> </ul> </ul> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> </div>
