Abstract

This chapter uses the phenomenological concept of intentionality as a framework in how to structure the online teaching of qualitative research methods. Intentionality refers to the inherent interdependence of subject and object, a holistic and relational awareness of students to the material with a focus towards engagement often missing in online educational settings. Using intentionality as a foundation, we adapt a Community of Inquiry framework, to argue that teaching qualitative research methods online requires structuring the learning environment to attend to presence in three areas: with the content, as intentionality toward cognitive presence; with peers, as intentionality toward social presence; and the instructor, as intentionality toward teaching presence. We provide concrete examples of how to structure the teaching of qualitative methods online by bringing an intentionality of engagement to address teaching presence, social presence, and cognitive presence.
