Abstract
In what ways the use of LEGO can deepen or enhance the field of qualitative research? How playing with LEGO in qualitative research courses may guide, inform, and innovate instructional practices and learning outcomes? What happens when LEGO blocks become the primary teaching tools in qualitative methods courses? The purpose of this session is to engage and inspire qualitative researchers, practitioners, and students by revealing the potential uses and applications of Lego in the context of qualitative inquiry. Through this workshop, participants will explore the various methods of using LEGO in qualitative research, focusing on LEGO both as an instructional and learning tool. Participants will also learn how the concepts and methodology of Lego Serious Play (LSP) can be adopted and used in qualitative research courses. Lego Serious Play in the qualitative classroom can foster collective creativity, flow states through play, and the benefits of learning through embodied practices. During this workshop, participants will learn how LEGO can play a creative and instrumental role to support learning, content acquisition, and instruction. Participants will also have the opportunity to participate in guided activities to experience how LEGO may stimulate and nurture new ways of learning about qualitative research.
