With institutions giving more premium on quantitative research as evidenced by research pedagogy and praxis more centered on the descriptive quantitative research, students pursuing qualitative theses and dissertations often encounter significant challenges and obstacles on their path to completion. Consequently, qualitative research advisers find themselves navigating a complex duality: serving as gatekeepers of academic rigor and quality in their students' scholarly work while simultaneously acting as mentors and coaches, fostering the development of their students’ skills, confidence, and identity as qualitative researchers. Given the critical and nuanced responsibilities of ensuring quality and guiding qualitative research instruction, what strategies can one employ to excel as an effective qualitative research adviser and facilitate the successful publication of student research?

Guiding every qualitative research adviser and student through skills development, the Asian Society of Teachers for Research, Inc. hosts the Training-Workshop on Research Advising for Qualitative Research on February 20-22, 2025 at the Castle Peak Hotel, Cebu City, Philippines!

OBJECTIVES OF THE TRAINING-WORKSHOP:

1. To promote qualitative research to future researchers with equal value like that of the quantitative research;
2. To develop expertise in transcribing and thematizing research data;
3. To supervise the scientific publication of a qualitative research manuscript; and,
4. To learn and apply the art of research advising for qualitative research.
