	Objectives
	THE COURSE AIMS AT DOING ACQUIRE A MASTERY OF THE LOGICAL-CONCEPTUAL AND OPERATIONAL TOOLS THAT CHARACTERIZE THE QUALITATIVE APPROACH IN SOCIAL SCIENCES. PARTICULARLY, WE PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF METHODOLOGICAL ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCTION, MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS OF QUALITATIVE DATA. SOME TOPICS CONCERN THE RESEARCH METHODS AND THE NATURE OF THE KNOWLEDGE PRODUCED BY QUALITATIVE RESEARCH TOOLS. STUDENTS SHOULD ACQUIRE MASTERY OF: - ISSUES OF QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS; - CLASSIFYING AND FILING THE MATERIALS PRODUCED THROUGH QUALITATIVE RESEARCH PRACTICE; - CATEGORIZING AND CODING TEXTUAL DATA; - PROCESSING OF PATTERN AND GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATIONS - PRODUCE THE WRITING UP THE RESEARCH REPORT.

	Prerequisites
	STUDENTS ATTEND THE COURSE AFTER HAVING PASSED EXAMS OF SOCIOLOGY, METHODOLOGY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE AND METHODOLOGY AND TECHNIQUE OF SOCIAL RESEARCH.

	Contents
	THE COURSE IS DIVIDED IN THREE MODULES. THE FIRST MODULE WILL BE FOCUSED ON THE BASIC CONCEPTS AND RESEARCH PRACTICES THROUGH THE ILLUSTRATION OF THE MAIN THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES DEVELOPED IN THE FIELD OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH. IN THE SECOND MODULE WILL BE DEALT WITH MATTERS CONCERNING THE PROCESSES OF DATA INTERPRETATION WILL BE PRESENTED THE GUIDELINES FOR WORKING WITH QUALITATIVE DATA. SPECIFICALLY : - SETTING UP A DATA STORAGE SYSTEM - EXPLORING DATA THROUGH CLASSIFYING, CODING AND CATEGORIZATION - HANDLING THE PROCESSES OF ANALYSIS AND REPORTING THE THIRD MODULE IS ABOUT HANDLING QUALITATIVE DATA THROUGH THE USE SOFTWARE NVIVO. SPECIFICALLY, WILL BE PROVIDED GUIDELINES FOR LEARNING HOW TO ORGANIZE, CLASSIFY AND STORE RESEARCH MATERIALS, HOW TO PLAN AND TO WRITE UP A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH REPORT.
