On Saturday, May 23, 2026, Bunga Pertiwi as IJRS researcher had the opportunity to participate in a training session with the SMERU Learning Centre.
The training covered five main topics:
- The role of qualitative data collectors
- Understanding qualitative studies
- Preparation for data collection
- Implementation of data collection
- Reporting and problem handling
Not only focused on theory, the training also encouraged participants to engage in interactive discussions, share field experiences, and take part in hands-on practice through role-play simulations on developing interview guides and conducting interviews.
This training provided many practical insights, tips, and technical recommendations that will be valuable in supporting the quality of future research.
