Abstract
Educational researchers make use of highly diverse qualitative methods but teaching
these methods to students involves considerable challenges. This paper describes
master’s level qualitative research assignments that employ student-centered and
masterly learning approaches. The paper addresses the increasingly important issues of
how best to create course assignments of qualitative inquiry; and how to assess learning
outcomes. The assignments described here focus on three interconnected challenges:
(i) doing interviews and observations; (ii) writing fieldwork reports; and (iii) presenting
orally qualitative data. The paper systematically explains how these sequencing
assessments will promote students’ practical understanding of qualitative data
collection for a mini-ethnographic case study. The approach to designing the
assignments proposed in this study can be applied to both traditional and online
courses.
