QUALITATIVE RESEARCH 123
- It is the type of research characterized by the
usage of descriptive data mostly without
applying treatments to see the posttreatments.
- DATA GATHERING TECHNIQUES
- ETHNOGRAPHIES
- The purpose of this is to provide a holistic description of cultural
patterns from an emic perspective.
- CASE STUDIES
- The purpose of this is to provide a detailed description of specific participants
and it is developed through periodic intervals for an extended period of time.
- INTERVIEWS
- This offers the researcher the opportunity to use structured, semistructured and
unstructured interviews that allow him to work with the group and acquire information
that surveys could not provide.
- OBSERVATIONS
- The purpose of this is to provide careful descriptions of learner's
activities without influencing their context.
- DIARIES/JOURNALS
- The purpose of this is to provide an inside perspective that can
complement the researcher's process.
- ANALYZING QUALITATIVE
DATA
- THE THREE STAGES OF
ANALYSIS.
- COMPREHENSIVE
- In this stage of aspects of a
chosen context are researched.
- TOPIC
ORIENTED.
- In this stage the topic has been clarified
through preliminary analysis and the data
collection becomes focused.
- HYPOTHESIS ORIENTED
- In this stage, the hypothesis are
created based on the data collected.
- STRATEGIES
- TRIANGULATION
- THEORETICAL
- Usage of multiple
perspectives to analyze the
same set of data
- INVESTIGATOR
- Usage of multiple
observers and
interviews
- METHODOLOGICAL
- Usage of multiple measures
and research methods to
analyze the same phenomena
- THE ROLE OF QUANTIFICATION IN
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
- Quantification can assuredly be helpful in the generation of hypotheses and
detection of patterns: It is specially important when presenting the results.
- CHARACTERISTICS
- Usage of rich detailed descriptions.
- Usage of natural and holistic representation of the phenomena.
- Few participants.
- Emic perspectives
- Cyclical and open-ended processes.
- Possible ideological orientations
- General and open-ended research questions.
- EMIC VS ETIC
INTERPRETATION.
- In the Emic interpretation the perspective and input of the participants is taken into
account while in Etic the researcher´s perspective is the one that is taken into account.
- DISADVANTAGES OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
- CREDIBILITY
- Lack of naturality
of the
participants.
- TRANSFERABILITY
- Lack of similarity
on the context to
pass results
between contexts
- CONFIRMABILITY
- Lack of detailed
data.
- DEPENDABILITY
- Lack of
characterization of the
research context and
relationships among
the participants.
