The aim of this session is to provide an overview of the foundational concepts in qualitative research methods as they apply to the design of teaching and learning research. We will explore the purpose of qualitative research and the methodological characteristics that distinguish it from quantitative research. We will also discuss key qualitative paradigms and approaches, such as phenomenology and grounded theory, the role of the researcher in qualitative studies, and strategies to enhance the trustworthiness of qualitative research.
