為培養研究生研究之能力，本課程提供碩士學生對質性研究的議題與課題進行瞭解。透過閱讀相關的文獻與議題，我們將嘗試弄清楚我們平日所生活的社會是如何被運作，我們可以如何了解甚至描述我們身旁所發生的一些事。經由此門課，將讓你在未來的研究上提供幫助。
因此本門課的目標有三，首先透過文獻與主張，我們將對所謂的實證主義，後實證主義進行了解。接著我們會閱讀一些利用質性方法在教育進行的實證研究。最後我們將介紹一些可以在田野的採集的方法。In order to cultivate postgraduate research abilities, this course provides master's students with an understanding of issues and topics in qualitative research. By reading relevant literature and issues, we will try to figure out how the society we live in is run, and how we can understand and even describe some of the things happening around us. This course will help you with your future research.
Therefore, this course has three goals. First, through literature and claims, we will understand the so-called positivism and post-positivism. Next we will read some empirical research using qualitative methods in education. Finally we will introduce some methods that can be collected in the field.
質性研究是以不同於實證主義的視野來看待世界，與實證主義有著在本體論、認識論與方法論上的歧異，所以本課程首先將針對質性研究的知識基礎與歷史脈絡進行介紹與討論。然，質性研究有許多不同的取向，每個取向也有其在認識論立場與方法上的差異，所以，本課程將選擇二種對社會工作領域較基礎、較常使用的質化研究取向來進行較深入的分析與討論，包括其發展歷史、基本理念、資料蒐集方法、資料分析方法等。
本課程的目標是以協助同學探索並選擇適合或接近自己研究立場，或是可以解答自己研究問題的質性研究取向；對於質性研究的成果有更具體的想像；以及培養同學具備初步執行質化研究的能力為重點；所以整體課程設計是以下述三個方向為主：
1、探索：釐清自己要探索什麼？如何探索？如何增加探索的敏感度？
2、閱讀：閱讀由質性研究的經典論文，來增進同學對質化研究的敏感度。
3、書寫：藉由指定作業讓同學不斷地書寫，來培養質性研究的寫作能力。
Qualitative research looks at the world from a different perspective than positivism, and is different from positivism in ontology, epistemology and methodology. Therefore, this course will first introduce and discuss the knowledge base and historical context of qualitative research. However, there are many different orientations in qualitative research, and each orientation also has its own differences in epistemological stances and methods. Therefore, this course will choose two more basic and commonly used qualitative research orientations in the field of social work. More in-depth analysis and discussion, including its development history, basic concepts, data collection methods, data analysis methods, etc.
The goal of this course is to help students explore and choose a qualitative research approach that is suitable for or close to their own research position, or that can answer their own research questions; to have a more specific imagination of the results of qualitative research; and to cultivate students with preliminary execution qualities. The focus is on the ability of chemical research; therefore, the overall course design is based on the following three directions:
1. Exploration: Clarify what you want to explore? How to explore? How to increase the sensitivity of exploration?
2. Reading: Read classic papers based on qualitative research to enhance students’ sensitivity to qualitative research.
3. Writing: Cultivate writing skills in qualitative research by assigning assignments to allow students to write continuously.
