ANNOUNCEMENT
ONE MONTH ONLINE CERTIFICATE TRAINING ON QUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHODOLOGY IN SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH (QRMS)
15TH JUNE TO 15TH JULY, 2023
Rabindrik Psychotherapy Research Institute Trust (Registered Academic Trust by Indian Trust Act, 1882 REGD.NO.150600103) invites application for one month training certificate course on Qualitative Research Methodology in social science research. Qualitative Research methods are useful for providing rich descriptions of complex phenomena. Quantitative and qualitative methods can be combined, applied successively, or employed simultaneously. The most noteworthy qualitative research is scientific and rigorous, aims to minimise bias and error, and strives to find data that refutes initial or emergent perspectives. For honing this impressive skill, proper training is crucial! This is a foundation course covering four groups of theory papers and one practicum.
Paper 1- Focus group, Content analysis and Narrative analysis.
Paper 2- Case Study and Phenomenology.
Paper 3- Interview technique and Grounded theory.
Paper 4- Observation and Ethnography.
Paper 5 - Practicum
The trainees will learn under the supervision of award winning faculties of different universities, colleges, and research institute through online mode from 8 to 10 PM. The trainees will be evaluated and certificates of course completion will be provided.
Eligibility criteria for the course: Post graduation in any subject of Social Science.

ONE MONTH ONLINE Certificate Training on Qualitative Research Methodology in Social Science Research for Post graduates in any Subject of Social Science.
Title: Qualitative Research methodology in Social science research.
Organized by:Rabindrik Psychotherapy Research Institute Trust (RPRIT), Registered Academic Trust by Indian Trust Act,1882, REGD.NO.150600103.
About the trust: It is a higher learning virtual research institute aiming at educating students about research for the welfare of the larger community through online and blended education. International students are welcome here.The trust regularly inviting applications for various courses. Both Internal and External Faculties are teaching here. The trust has more than 500 students.
Syllabus outline:
Paper 1-Interview Techniques
systematic and structured approach employed by researchers to conduct interviews and gather information from participants. It involves a series of methods, strategies, and guidelines aimed at maximizing the quality and reliability of the data collected.
Paper 2- Focus Groups:
It involves bringing together a small group of participants, typically ranging from 6 to 12 individuals, in a structured and moderated discussion. The purpose of a focus group is to explore attitudes, opinions, perceptions, and experiences related to a specific topic or research question.
Paper 3-Observations
It is a way of collecting data by directly observing and documenting what is happening without any intervention or manipulation by the observer.
Paper 4- Case Study
An in-depth examination of a particular individual, group, organization, or event. It is a qualitative research approach that seeks to understand and analyze complex phenomena within their real-life context.
Paper 5 Content Analysis
Content analysis is a research method used to systematically analyze and interpret the content of various forms of communication, such as written text, audio recordings, video, social media posts, websites, or any other form of media. It involves identifying and categorizing specific elements within the content to extract meaningful insights and draw conclusions.
Paper 6- Narrative Analysis
Narrative analysis is a research method used to analyze and interpret the stories or narratives people construct to make sense of their experiences, identities, and the world around them. It involves examining the structure, content, and context of narratives to uncover underlying meanings, themes, and patterns.
Paper 7- Phenomenology
Phenomenology is a philosophical and research approach that focuses on the study of subjective experiences and the way individuals make sense of the world. It seeks to understand the essence or structure of lived experiences as they are perceived and interpreted by individuals.
Paper 8- Grounded Theory
Grounded theory is a qualitative research methodology that aims to develop theories or explanations grounded in the data collected during the research process.
Paper 9- Ethnography
Ethnography is a qualitative research method that involves the systematic study and description of the culture, behaviors, and practices of a particular group or community. It aims to understand the social and cultural aspects of a group from the perspective of its members by immersing the researcher in the community's natural setting.
