qual W11 validity
ehancing validity
triangulation
term taken from navigation
combination of methods in the study of the same phenomena
combining methods- the weakness of any method is addressed through the strength of another
confirmability
member checks
respondent validation (ppt feedback, informant feedback)
ppts comment on the analysis
challenge and expand
not always feasible or practical
credibility
peer de-briefing
comparing researchers coding
analysis not confirmed to one perspective
interrater reliability (quant eequivalent)
consistency of coding
audit trial
evidence to link the raw data to final report
allows all steps to be retraced
record your decisions
helps to establish transferability and confirmability
thick description
holistic description
sufficient breadth and depth of analysis
sampling
researcher competence in method of analysis
reflexivity
acknowledging the central role of the researcher
reflective journal (audit trial)
the content of research can be judged in the context of the perspectives and assumptions by which it was shaped
sensitivity to context
holistic description
relevant theoretical and empirical literature (lit review)
a range of literature from different disciplines
perspective and socio-cultural context of ppts
ethical considerations
characteristics of researcher
research setting
impact and performance
the potential to make a difference
theoretical importance
practical importance
validity of research
how well has the research been carried outa
re the fingdings trustworthy
is the research useful
evaluating validity in qual research
different approaches in qual research- thematic analysis,grounded theory, narrative analysis, discourse analysis etc
different assumptions, different procedures
dominance of quant methods- methods for evaluating quant research mistakenly applied to qualitative research
perspectives in validity
objectivity
unbiased observation
methods of data collection standardised
reliability
predictable/casual relationships
replicated in different context
generalisability
findings generalisesable
from sample population (represenatative)
gather qual data from large enough sample
developing validity
sound, rigorous findings?
guidlines estabilishing validity criteria
procedures for enhancing validity- triangulation, member checks, peer de-briefing, disconfirming case analysis, audit trial, immersion in the setting, thick description, reflexivity
