Abstract:
Qualitative research has become a very important indicator of quality in accreditation programs in Colombia, but despite the fact that qualitative research has gained recognition among scholars a as a valid way to generate reliable knowledge, and the expertise scholars have accumulated for quite some time (at least 30 years) there is still a huge number of undergraduate and graduate students who struggle to formulate and conduct their research studies. On the other hand, due to a national policy that promotes the teaching of English around the country, there has been an important emergence of undergraduate and graduate programs in the country that use English as their MOI (Mode of Instruction) and ELT (English Language Teaching) as the main content for classes and for research. These two situations plus the innovate ways people have found to educate themselves by using media like YouTube, Tik Toc and Podcasts, particularly during Covid 19, have led our research group conduct a practice-based research (a research mode used mainly in arts) to inform and produce a bilingual podcast devoted to talk about how to conduct qualitative research in education. In this presentation we will share the theoretical foundations of formative research, qualitative research, the role of podcasts in education and what we mean by “bilingual” in this particular context. Then we will talk about the creative process behind the podcasts as well as the sections included, and we will close with the comments/reviews we have received from our audiences.
