Qualitative research methodology is a powerful approach used to explore and understand people’s beliefs, experiences, attitudes, and behaviors. LPU-HRDC organized a ‘Short-Term Course on Qualitative Research Methodology’ from August 19, 2024, to September 2, 2024, allowing participants to explore complex phenomena. This approach is highly adaptable, enabling researchers to adjust their focus as new insights emerge during the course. Qualitative research emphasizes the importance of context and helps researchers understand how social, cultural, and environmental factors influence individuals’ actions and interactions.
The course aimed at developing the understanding and skill of various Qualitative research methods and their application, developing the ability to select and apply appropriate methods for their research projects, and acquiring practical skills in data collection, analysis & interpretation.
The resource panel included Dr. Dhaval Maheta, Professor, Department of Business and Industrial Management, Veer Narmad University, Gujrat and Dr. Sakshi Thakur, Assistant Professor, Mittal School of Business, Lovely Professional University. The resource persons strategically included a blend of theoretical instruction, practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises, ensuring participants gained a comprehensive understanding of the topics covered and fostering an engaging and interactive learning environment.
