"doing research" - workshop talks on qualitative research in teacher training
The Netzwerk für qualitative Forschung in der Lehrer*innenbildung or Interdisciplinary network for qualitative research in teacher education was established in the 2020/21 winter semester. Since the 2021/22 winter semester,they have regularly invited participants to workshops on qualitative research under the heading "doing research". Qualitative researchers from the University of Cologne provide practical insights into current, school and teaching-related research projects in educational sciences and subject didactics. Scientists from other disciplines act as discussants. All participants are invited to get involved in order to reflect on and discuss research processes and research findings. The workshop talks are aimed at everyone who is interested in qualitative research: from novices to experts, from students to professors, and are interdisciplinary. You can find the programme for the summer semester 2023 here.
The 18th Berlin Methods Meeting on Qualitative Research will take place on July 28th and 29th, 2023 at the Freie Universität Berlin. You can find information about the programme here and you can register here. With a total of around 500 participants, the Berlin Methods Meeting on Qualitative Research is the largest annual event on qualitative research methods in the German-speaking area. The Berlin Methods Meeting is aimed at everyone who works with qualitative methods in their qualification work (diploma, dissertation, habilitation, etc.) or in their research work and at everyone who is generally interested in qualitative research. The aim of the Berlin Methods Meeting is to offer a form of advice, discussion and information with the widest possible range of coordinated events and offers (lectures, research workshops, poster sessions, workshops and informal meetings). The work with qualitative methods is supported, in particular by including the research data/materials brought in by the participants.
The 2020 Microcensus has recently been made available as a Scientific Use File and via the on-site access channels for independent domestic research institutions. In 2020, the program included information on commuter characteristics of pupils, students and employees. An ad hoc module on accidents at work and other work-related health problems was also carried out. Further information on the Scientific Use File 2020 can be found in the GESIS microdata information system (Missy). For more information, you can have a look here. The data can be ordered at the research data center of the federal and state statistical offices (see https://www.forschungsdatenzentrum.de/de/haushalte/mikrozensus ).
The 20th German Stata Conference will be held on Friday, 16th June 2023 in Berlin at the Humbold University's Jacob-and-Wilhelm-Grimm-Zentrum. Everybody from everywhere who is interested in using Stata is invited to attend this meeting.

It introduces how to use Python from within Stata, and how to use Stata from within Python. You can read more information here.
This two-day workshop offers participants practical experiences with seven methods of coding qualitative data: in vivo, process, emotion, values, dramaturgical, causation, and axial coding. The workshop also reviews heuristic and analytic follow-up with codes and coding: analytic memos, categories, and diagrams. Manual (hard copy) coding with social media data will be emphasized with a discussion of available analytic software for future use. Workshop content is based on Saldaña’s The Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers (4th edition, 2021, Sage Publishing). The workshop will take place via the Zoom platform. It will take place on July 11-12, 2023 and you can register here.
