Practical Research 1 Quarter 1 – Module 2: Importance of Qualitative Research Across Field More on Types of Qualitative Research 1. Case Study Research methodology that allows one to conduct an intensive study about a particular person, or some unit in which the researcher could provide an in depth data. Case study examines a phenomena in the natural setting, thereby increasing the researcher’s ability to understand why the subjects act as such  Sample Titles of Case Study Qualitative Research 1. Exploring the World of A Struggling Student 2. Case Study of A Quite Child: A Graduate Study View 2. Ethnography It deals with the discovery and description of a culture of a group or groups of individuals. It helps to search very complicated or complex design challenges. As one of the most important Qualitative design, ethnographic researcher interact with the target population.  Sample Titles of Ethnographic Research 1.

Phenomenology A qualitative research design approach that helps in describing the lived experiences of an individual. The phenomenological method focused on studying the phenomena that have impacted an individual. It is particularly effective at bringing the fore the experiences and perceptions of individuals from their own perspectives  Sample Titles of Phenomenological Study 1.

Grounded Theory Qualitative Method that enables researcher to study a particular phenomenon or process and discover new theories that are based on the collection and analysis of real world data. Grounded theory used when there is no existing theory that offers an explanation for the phenomenon that you are studying. It can also be used if there is an existing theory but it is potentially incomplete  Sample Titles of Grounded Theory 1. Expelling Pregnant Students out of Wedlock 2.

It can be used in researches under the hard sciences or STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Medicine) and natural sciences (Biology, Physics, Chemistry). The positive or scientific approach allows control of variables or factors affecting the study In the field of Humanities, man’s social life is also subjected to research studies. However, researchers in this area give emphasis not to man’s social life, but to the study of the meanings, significance, and visualizations of human experiences in the fields of Fine Arts, Literature, Music, Drama, Dance, and other artistically inclined subjects.  More Characteristics of A Good Research 1. The research should be systematic. There is a system to follow in conducting research as there is a system for formulating each of its parts. There is a big system (macro) and under it are small systems (micro). In research writing, what is referred to as the “system” is composed of the chapters and their elements. The macrosystem is composed of chapters that are organized in a logical and scientific manner. On the other hand, the microsystem consists of the detailed contents of each chapter. The contents are further divided into elements that are organized following a systematic procedure The research should be feasible. Any problem of extraordinary nature that directly or indirectly affects any profession is a feasible problem to study. In settings like in the community, school, or workplace, unusual phenomena may happen and can turn into potential problems. The research should be empirical. There should be supporting pieces of evidence and accompanying details for every variable used in the study. References and citations of facts and information that the researcher has gathered in his or her paper must be included. Plagiarism constitutes claiming another person’s idea or intellectual property as one’s own. Through proper attribution, the researcher states that the knowledge being shared through the study was taken from the study of other experts. The research should be clear. The choice of variables used in the study should be explained by the researcher. This can be done by enriching the review of literature or by discussing the different theories on which the selection of the variables is based. Therefore, there must be sufficient indicators for each variable. These variables can be gathered from different published and unpublished materials.
