课程简介

课程名称:观察方法与定性数据分析 课程概述:本课程主要面向对心理学、数据分析和定性研究方法感兴趣的本科生(尤其是大一和大二)以及具有类似兴趣的高中生和专业人士。课程将深入探讨心理学中的定性研究传统,如民族志研究和案例研究,重点是参与观察的使用。学生将在课程中探索这些传统的独特实践、数据收集与分析方法,以及研究者在研究过程中的参与。 课程大纲: 1. **PsycLearn Essentials学习模块**:介绍PsycLearn Essentials课程的内容和导航,以及成功学习的宝贵学习技巧。 2. **引言**:课程探讨了民族志研究和案例研究两种研究传统,重点介绍了一种称为参与观察的工具,比较二者的目的与焦点、数据收集与分析、独特实践以及研究者的参与方式。同时,还将探索适用于民族志和案例研究的分析技术。 3. **定性研究中的观察**:观察作为一种自然主义的定性研究技术,补充了个体或团体访谈。在观察研究中,研究者见证、参与并/或体验所研究的现象。我们将讨论研究者作为数据收集工具的角色,强调相关的技能、知识和能力。 4. **民族志研究**:民族志研究探讨文化,包括一群人共享的价值观、信仰、日常生活、模式、仪式、符号和行为。文化的探讨不限于国家或民族群体,也包括工作场所、学生组织、学校等。定性研究中,文化的探索需要研究者的沉浸和长期观察。 5. **案例研究**:案例研究涉及特定的、有界的案例(或多个案例)的检验,重点关注案例作为分析单元,而非对一种总体现象、生活体验或文化的探索。案例可以包括人群、场所、团体、课堂、组织等。 6. **定性数据分析(QDA)**:定性研究是迭代的,研究人员通常在数据收集和分析之间循环,应用研究者定位、常量比较法(CCM)和理论抽样等策略。内容将提供定性数据分析(QDA)技术的初步介绍,而这些技术并不涵盖所有QDA方法,学生将广泛理解并实践常见的编码、分析和整合策略。 7. **综合测验**:完成课程最后的评估。 8. **PsycLearn Essentials APA学生资源**:提供来自美国心理学协会(APA)的各种信息和工具,帮助学生完成课程作业并规划职业目标,包括心理学问题和学术研究与写作的APA资源、多样性、公平性和包容性资源,以及心理学职业的链接等。 该课程将为希望在心理学及其研究方法领域深造的学生提供重要的基础和实用技能。

课程大纲

Name:Learn With PsycLearn Essentials

Description:This module introduces you to your PsycLearn Essentials course. Find out what’s included in this course and how to navigate the modules and lessons. You’ll also learn valuable study tips for successful learning.

Name:Introduction

Description:This course explores two research traditions—ethnographic inquiry and case study—with focus on their use of a tool known as participation observation, which can complement or stand apart from interviewing. You’ll compare purpose and focus, data gathering and analysis, unique practices, and ways the researcher is involved in the process. We will also explore analytic techniques that apply not just to ethnography and case study, but also to the research traditions earlier explored.

Name:Observation in Qualitative Research

Description:Observation, a naturalistic qualitative inquiry technique, serves as a complement to the individual or group research interview. In observational research, the researcher witnesses, participates in, and/or experiences the phenomenon under investigation. Again, we will discuss the role of researcher as an instrument of data collection, underscoring pertinent skills, knowledge, and abilities.

Name:Ethnographic Inquiry

Description:Ethnography explores culture—the values, beliefs, daily lives, patterns, rituals, symbols, and behaviors shared by a group of people. Note that we are not limiting our exploration of culture to nations or ethnic groups. Culture also exists in workplaces, student organizations, schools, and more. In qualitative research, exploration of culture involves researcher immersion and prolonged observation.

Name:Case Studies

Description:A case study involves the examination of a specific, bounded case (or cases), with focus on the case as a unit of analysis, versus the exploration of an overarching phenomenon, lived experience, or culture. Cases can be many things: people, sites, groups, classrooms, organizations, and more.

Name:Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA)

Description:Qualitative research is iterative. Often, researchers cycle through collection and analysis, applying strategies like researcher positioning, the constant comparative method (CCM), and theoretical sampling. The content that follows provides an elementary introduction to common qualitative data analysis (QDA) techniques. By no means are these techniques exhaustive of all QDA methods; thus, readers will gain broad insight and will practice applying common coding, analysis, and integration strategies. Many qualitative researchers pursue advanced studies of QDA, often through an apprenticeship model focused on a specific tradition (e.g., phenomenology), in graduate programs.

Name:Cumulative Quiz

Description:Complete the final course assessment.

Name:PsycLearn Essentials APA Student Resources

Description:This module provides a variety of information and tools from the American Psychological Association (APA) that will help inspire you as you complete your coursework and plan your career goals. Explore APA resources on various psychological issues and scholarly research and writing; a list of sites providing valuable resources on diversity, equity, and inclusion in psychology education and in the professional community; resources on a career in psychology; and links to career opportunities at the APA.
