SUMMARY:From Words to Meaning: Qualitative Strategies for Classroom Research ***Walk-ins Welcome***
DESCRIPTION:Planning to study your own classroom but not sure how to 
 capture students' voices in your research?\n   \nThis hands-on workshop 
 introduces educators to qualitative methods in the Scholarship of Teaching 
 and Learning (SoTL)\, focusing on how to gather\, analyze\, and make 
 meaning from narrative student data. Participants will explore common 
 sources of qualitative data—such as open-ended survey responses\, 
 reflections\, and discussion posts—and learn how to write effective 
 questions that generate insightful feedback. You'll also be introduced to 
 basic coding and thematic analysis techniques\, review real examples of 
 SoTL studies that use qualitative methods\, and consider ethical issues 
 like confidentiality and power dynamics. Whether you're just starting out 
 or ready to refine a project idea\, this session offers practical tools to 
 explore the human side of learning through SoTL.\n\nUpon completion of this 
 learning experience\, participants will be able to:\n\n\n	explain the value 
 of qualitative methods in SoTL and the types of questions they best 
 address\n	identify common qualitative data sources in classroom-based 
 research (e.g.\, open-ended survey responses\, interviews\, reflections\, 
 discussion posts)\n	design effective open-ended survey questions for 
 collecting meaningful student feedback\n	apply introductory coding and 
 thematic analysis techniques to identify patterns and insights in 
 qualitative data\n	evaluate examples of published SoTL studies that use 
 qualitative methods effectively\n	recognize ethical considerations unique 
 to qualitative research\, such as confidentiality and power 
 dynamics\n	select appropriate tools or strategies for analyzing qualitative 
 data (e.g.\, coding by hand\, using Excel\, or simple qualitative 
 software).\n
