Study Notes
Strengths and Weaknesses of Qualitative Research
- Utilizes qualitative data to complement quantitative data
- Provides detailed information to explain complex issues
- Can utilize multiple methods for gathering data on sensitive subjects
- Data collection is cost-efficient
- Results are based on observations in natural settings
- It has the ability to elevate thinking power and allow for shifting between levels of thought
- It is an active learning process and a problem-solving technique
- It includes cooperative learning
Weaknesses
- Conclusions cannot be generalized to the entire population due to limited sample size
- Qualitative data can be difficult to analyze due to nonuniformity
- Neutrality is hard to achieve, and results can be affected by researcher's opinion and personal experiences
- Data collection is usually time-consuming and labor-intensive
- Results can be unpredictable due to changes in objectives
Governing Principles or Foundations of Inquiry
- John Dewey's theory of connected experiences for exploratory and reflective thinking
- Lev Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)
- Jerome Bruner's theory on learners' varied world perceptions for their own interpretative thinking
Nature of Inquiry and Research Characteristics
- Empirical: research based on direct experience or observation
- Logical: research based on valid procedures and principles
- Cyclical: research is a cyclical process that starts and ends with a problem
- Analytical: research utilizes proven analytical procedures
- Critical: research exhibits careful and precise judgment
- Methodical: research is conducted in a methodical manner without bias
- Replicable: research design and procedures can be replicated to achieve valid and conclusive results
Research Ethics
- Deals with beliefs about what is right or wrong, proper or improper, good or bad
- Principle of Autonomy: seeking consent of respondents
- Principle of non-maleficence: ensuring no harm or disruption
- Principle of beneficence: ensuring legitimate interest
- Principle of justice: fair entitlement of resources
Types of Qualitative Research
- Phenomenology: focuses on description of participants' real-life experiences, uses interviews as data collection instrument
- Ethnography: aims to understand culture and experiences of a group in their natural environment, uses observation, interview, and survey
- Grounded Theory: aims to explain a phenomenon through developing a theory, uses interview and supporting documents
- Case Study: allows for intensive analysis of a phenomenon, uses thorough interview, observation, and documentation
