Video-based research: interaction analyses and ethnography in educational contexts, 7,5 hp

The course gives an overview and concrete knowledge of ethnographic research methods with a focus on video-based research on interaction in educational contexts. The interaction analytic perspectives that are introduced are ethnomethodology, conversation analysis, multimodal interaction analysis and language socialization. During the course we will work on different parts of the analytic process, ranging from collected data to publication, with a focus on the following central concepts: knowledge, learning, instructions, moral, emotions, socialization and identities. Research ethics is actualized in relation to all the different parts of the analytic process. Teaching is organized in lectures, seminars, data workshops and course assignments.

The course is intended for doctoral students who have initiated or finished data collection as analyses of own research material is a central part of the course. The number of participants is limited.

Teachers: Helen Melander Bowden, Ann-Carita Evaldsson, and Niklas Norén
