The seminar was divided into three parts: 1.) review on the concepts and methodology of qualitative research; 2.) teaching strategies in teaching qualitative research in senior high school; and 3.) a workshop wherein the participants were asked to prepare an initial research proposal.
“We are very fortunate to be given this opportunity by Cor Jesu College to learn about qualitative research and how to teach it”, Dr. Raquel L. Cedeño, in-charge of the Senior High School Department of the Digos City National High School, said after the seminar.
The said seminar is part of the series of seminars lined up by the Graduate School. The next seminars would be on action research and teaching strategies in teaching quantitative research sometime in the summer of 2017.
