我们介绍和讨论了“世界咖啡馆”(WC)，这是一种广泛应用于社区发展和组织变革过程的参与性评估工具，作为另一种定性研究方法。我们建议将WC作为一种参与性的数据收集方法，并与定性研究中两种公认的方法--半结构访谈和焦点小组--进行比较，讨论其优缺点。作为一种研究方法，我们发现WC在重要方面与其他方法互补。当参与者较多时，有助于引导对主题的探索和验证。将该方法整合到研究设计中可能有助于增加参考样本和参与水平。此外，作为一种参与性方法，它不仅为研究人员提供数据，而且还有可能使参与者受益，因为它促进了对话和相互学习，从而激励了他们的参与和回应。
We introduce and discuss "World Cafe" (WC), a participatory assessment tool widely used in community development and organizational change processes, as additional qualitative research method. We propose WC as a participatory method of data collection for a large group of participants, discussing its strengths and weaknesses in comparison to semistructured interviews and focus groups, two well-established methods in qualitative research. As a research method, we find that WC complements other methods in important ways. When there are many participants, it helps guide the exploration and verification of themes. Integrating the method into the research design may help increase both the reference sample and the level of participation. Furthermore, as a participatory method, it not only produces data for the researchers but also has the potential to benefit the participants, as it facilitates dialogue and mutual learning, thus motivating their participation and responses.
