研究讓我們更理解我們所生存的世界，這個陳述相信大家都能接受，但其牽涉到一個更根本的提問：我們如何認識與理解世界？質性研究是以不同於實證主義的視野來認識與理解世界。所以我們首先將從「人如何認識世界」這個「偉大的議題」著眼，來了解除了實證主義取向以外，還有什麼人們理解與認識這個世界的方法與取向。之後，我們將進一步介紹兩個不同取向的質性研究方法，並實際練習及操作這兩個方法。此外，我們也會以閱讀及分享論文的方式，來感覺質化取向所完成的作品會是什麼 Fu（學術一點地講，就是掌握質化研究所使用的語言）。

簡言之，透過這學期的學習，我們共同來經歷與體驗：換個「不同於實證主義的腦袋」來看事情；練習與操作分析文本來理解受訪者/文本所形構的社會世界；閱讀質性研究取向的作品來增進自己對質性研究的敏感度。同上

Research allows us to better understand the world we live in. I believe everyone can accept this statement, but it involves a more fundamental question: How do we know and understand the world? Qualitative research understands and understands the world from a different perspective than positivism. Therefore, we will first focus on the "great issue" of "how people understand the world" to understand, in addition to the positivist orientation, what other methods and orientations do people use to understand and understand the world. After that, we will further introduce two qualitative research methods with different orientations, and actually practice and operate these two methods. In addition, we will also read and share papers to feel what the work completed with a qualitative approach will be (in academic terms, it means mastering the language used in qualitative research).

In short, through this semester's study, we have experienced together: looking at things with a "head different from positivism"; practicing and analyzing texts to understand the social world shaped by the interviewees/texts; and reading works with a qualitative research orientation to enhance our sensitivity to qualitative research. Same as above

質化研究是一門社會科學領域常用的研究方法論課程，本課程介紹餐旅領域常使用之質化研究方法的觀點與研究過程，以文本分析研究為主認識質化研究特質，詮釋典範的相關觀點、量化與質化研究差異、質性研究企劃過程、資料收集方法及技巧、研究倫理、寫作方式等；並協助同學選擇碩士論文主題、找出問題意識、整理文獻、擬出研究架構，撰寫研究大綱、並執行質化研究過程。

Qualitative research is a commonly used research methodology course in the field of social sciences. This course introduces the viewpoints and research processes of qualitative research methods commonly used in the field of hospitality. It focuses on text analysis research to understand the characteristics of qualitative research, interprets relevant viewpoints of examples, differences between quantitative and qualitative research, qualitative research planning process, data collection methods and techniques, research ethics, writing methods, etc. It also assists students in choosing a master's thesis topic, identifying problem awareness, organizing literature, formulating a research structure, writing a research outline, and executing the qualitative research process.
