I have listed some video sources related to the philosophical backgrounds of the qualitative research methods and the software we will use while performing the qualitative data analysis.
Ps. These videos are in Turkish. There are plenty of videos in English about the topic, so if you do not want to learn Turkish, you can search on Youtube 🙂
