COUN721 Advanced Qualitative Methods and Analysis for Counseling Research
The purpose of this course is to guide students in designing a small-scale research study within the field of counselor education. Building from Qualitative I, students will further their philosophical understandings of qualitative inquiry, develop a research proposal, and design a plan for data collection and analysis. The course will additionally prepare students to develop and submit a research protocol to the PAU Institutional Review Board. Students will also be guided through introspective exploration of their own positionality to facilitate ethical and responsible research practice. Upon completion of the course, students will have developed an executable qualitative research proposal and possess in-depth knowledge of the ethical and social justice implications of qualitative research.
