Study Notes
Qualitative Research Methods and Sampling Techniques
- Ground theory is a qualitative research method focused on generating a theory that explains a context or phenomenon through data collection via interviews and analysis using open-coding and axial coding.
- Ethnography is designed to produce cultural theory and aims to understand different views of the world, with two perspectives: emic (insider POV) and etic (outsider POV).
- Phenomenology describes experiences as they are lived, with two approaches: descriptive, focusing on the true meaning of the experience, and interpretive, including the researcher's experiences and perspectives.
- Historical research involves the systematic compilation and interpretation of facts regarding past events, often including oral history interviews.
- Narrative inquiry emphasizes how stories shape experiences and construct reality, providing an understanding of how people interpret situations.
- Case study involves in-depth contextual analysis of an entity or small number of entities, such as individuals, families, or social groups.
- Sampling in qualitative research can involve probability plans like simple random, stratified, cluster, or systematic samples, or non-probability plans like convenience, quota, matching, consecutive, and purposive sampling.
- Factors influencing sample size include the design used, sampling procedure, heterogeneity of attributes, frequency of occurrence, and projected cost.
- Sampling problems in qualitative research include sampling errors, bias, and the determination of sample size through power analysis.
- Quantitative data analysis involves different levels of measurement, including categorical (nominal, ordinal) and continuous (interval, ratio) data.
- Nominal data are used for simple analysis, while ordinal data are used for measurement of satisfaction.
- Parametric tests for continuous data include interval data, which can have negative numbers and where zero has meaning, and ratio data.
