질적교육연구방법론 수업을 수강한 어느 대학원생의 학습 경험에 대한 자문화기술지 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to autoethnographically explore a Graduate Student’s Learning Experience and Meaning in the Qualitative Education Research Methodology Seminar. To this end, I reviewed a reflective journal from March to June 2022, observed class participation, and conducted another insider interview. As results of the study, the experience of introducing qualitative research was found to be ‘participating in learning’, ‘building a learning relationship’, and ‘organizing learning’. Students enter the world of qualitative research through classes guided by advisors and textbooks suitable for beginners in qualitative research. However, beginners of qualitative research soon have difficulty in qualitative analysis and interpretation. This is because the process of qualitative analysis and interpretation is a practice that can only be learned by doing. Therefore, for beginners, feedback based on positive interdependence plays an important role in advancing to the next stage of research growth. It was also found that beginners of qualitative research seek various solutions when performing project tasks. The meaning of the introductory experience of qualitative research was found to be ‘learning about learning’, ‘learning in the research field’, and ‘learning about myself as a researcher’. Introductory experiences with a qualitative research lens are qualitative experiences of new ways of thinking and research methods. Given the nature of autoethnographical study that can be buried in their own world in the field of research, it is necessary to supplement them with rich and diverse data, especially for qualitative research beginner. In addition, beginner of qualitative research hope to become better qualitative researcher using the experience of qualitative research classes as a stepping stone. In the end, the researcher sought self-transformation by reflecting on the process of learning through participation in qualitative research classes. As a researcher and research participant, I looked back on the process of learning and seeking self-transformation. This study is expected to share experiences with beginners in qualitative research and help them understand preliminary research.
