Abstract
Media instruction has a longstanding tradition in Grade K-12 classrooms, and the power of “edutainment” in our visually oriented, electronically mediated, and performative culture should not be underestimated or dismissed by university professors for their masters- and doctoral-level classrooms. Excerpts from strategically selected popular films introduce qualitative research topics, illustrate basic principles and techniques of inquiry, generate classroom discussion and reflection, clarify misunderstood concepts, function as referential mnemonics, and teach selected principles more effectively than traditional classroom pedagogy. This workshop qua mini-film festival showcases an array of brief film clips useful for demonstrating topics such as: qualitative research genres, ontology/epistemology, ethics, participant observation, interviewing, and data analysis. Workshop participants will view the film clips and discuss their applications for supporting the instruction of qualitative research methods.
