Be the Qualitative Researcher: A Team-Based, Active Learning Strategy Using Popular Music Lyrics.

Abstract

Abstract: A team-based, active learning activity was created to facilitate undergraduate nursing students' understanding of qualitative research concepts. Working in small groups, students utilized the full-text lyrics of albums by recording artist Taylor Swift to analyze phrasing, create a qualitative coding scheme, code the data, and create a content and thematic analysis. The students then collaboratively created a Google Slide to present their findings for the class. An anonymous postactivity survey indicated greater student satisfaction with this activity than with traditional didactic lectures.
