History of qualitative research
Definition
John Creswell (1994)
an inquiry process of understanding that is based on distinct methodological traditions of inquiry to explore a social or human problem.
Sharan B. Merriam
“Qualitative researchers are interested in understanding the meaning people have constructed, that is, how people make sense of their world and the experiences they have in the world.
Dr. Leslie Curry (2015)
qualitative research is a strategy to collect, organise and interpret textual information systematically to generate insights into phenomena that are difficult to measure quantitatively.
Characteristics
Bogdan and Biklen (2007)
different types of qualitative research that have common characteristics and similar procedures even though differences in data collection and analysis exist.
Naturalistic
as a no experimental approach in which subjects are studied in their natural settings.
Descriptive data
The data collected are taken in form of words or pictures rather than numbers.
interview
transcripts
photographs
field notes
videos
personal documents
official records
Concern with process
process rather than outcomes
This research has been particularly helpful in clarifying students or teachers’ performance in education field.
Meaning
is of essential concern to the qualitative approach; and that is the reason, why they are really interested in participants’ perspectives.
Inductive
data in an inductive which means that theories or concepts are built on the base of gathering data.
Ethical considerations
participants have a vital role
because they contribute to the analysis of the data they generate. So the treatment of participants becomes an ethical issue to be considered.
Bodgan and Biklen
Avoid research sites where participants may feel coerced to participate in the research.
Honour the participants’ privacy.
Consider difference in participants’ time commitment.
Protect participants’ identities to avoid embarrassment or harm.
Treat participants with respect and seek their cooperation in the research.
Negotiate with the participants the terms of the agreement to do a study.
Tell the truth when writing up and reporting the findings.
