「一棵大樹在森林裡倒下而沒有人在附近聽見，它有沒有發出聲音？」質性研究觸及的是終極性的哲學問題，目的在於探索人如何理解世界、建構意義，在統計、數據為發言基礎的量化研究中，開出一條以田野研究、文本分析、詮釋理路為策略的意義研究。質性研究不是量化研究的對立面，而是在與量化資料交互對話的歷程中完成意義研究，方法自身並無優先性，研究方法的使用則取決於研究發問，而方法選用也同時反映了研究者的訓練和世界觀。
本課程目的著重於訓練修課同學了解質性研究實施之價值、邏輯與方法。社會工作是門具備多元典範與實踐基礎的學科，運用多視角方法論和研究方法企圖理解社會工作現場所遭逢的現象或群體。因此，本課程將介紹多種質性研究方法的設計邏輯與施作規劃、長處和限制，修課同學則透過課程作業，以及研究計畫寫作了解質性研究的具體架構和內涵，以一學期的時間思考質的研究歷程及其中潛藏的倫理與反思議題。"A big tree fell in the forest and no one was around to hear it. Did it make a sound?" Qualitative research touches on the ultimate philosophical question, with the purpose of exploring how people understand the world and construct meaning. In statistics and data In the quantitative research that is the basis of the speech, a meaning research strategy based on field research, text analysis, and interpretation is developed. Qualitative research is not the opposite of quantitative research, but the research of meaning in the process of interactive dialogue with quantitative data. The method itself has no priority. The use of research methods depends on the research questions, and the selection of methods also reflects the researcher. training and worldview.
The purpose of this course focuses on training students to understand the value, logic and methods of conducting qualitative research. Social work is a discipline with multiple paradigms and practical foundations. It uses multi-perspective methodology and research methods to try to understand the phenomena or groups encountered in social work sites. Therefore, this course will introduce the design logic and implementation planning, advantages and limitations of various qualitative research methods. Students will understand the specific structure and connotation of qualitative research through coursework and research plan writing. With a one-semester course, The research process of time thinking quality and the ethical and reflective issues hidden in it.
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 curriculum 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.
