Qualitative Research
Methods in Medical Education
Presented by Ilene
Harris, Ph.D.
University of Illinois-Chicago College of Medicine |
|
Description
| Qualitative data from focus
group discussions, interviews, observation field
notes, and responses to open-ended survey
questions is increasingly used by medical
science educators – in admissions processes,
needs assessments, program development,
curriculum evaluation, student performance
assessment and various research applications.
The purpose of this Seminar is to help medical
science educators develop perspectives and some
practical strategies for the appropriate and
effective use of qualitative data in
educational planning, evaluation, and research.
In this one-hour IAMSE Audio
Seminar, Dr. Harris will compare qualitative
research methods with quantitative methods,
using specific examples; discuss the
appropriate role of qualitative methods in
educational planning, evaluation and research in
medical education; demonstrate specific
strategies for the essential task in qualitative
data analysis – identifying themes and
categories in qualitative data sets, with
attention to validity, reliability, and
trustworthiness; discuss issues and
potential problems in analysis of qualitative
data; and identify resources for basic
science educators to refine their skills in the
use of qualitative and quantitative methods for
educational planning, evaluation and research. |
