Professor William Gibson (PGTAs to be named) | Five two-hour sessions | Autumn: 17:30 - 19:30 (UK time) Wednesday 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 October (Room A5.02 in the IOE)

NB: this is the same content as Group 2 later in the Autumn term. You should only take one course.

NB: This course accrues 4 training points.

This course will provide an overview of four different approaches to analysis (Thematic Analysis, Narrative Analysis, Discourse Analysis and Grounded Theory). We will also talk about the concept of analysis in a general way, and the methodological issues that it presents (e,g. ethics, the representation of data, truth claims, generalisation). We will spend time thinking in detail about transcription and will look at how NVivo and other technologies can be used to support certain types of analysis.
