Week 2 Type of Qualitative Research
Introduction
Qualitative research is about assessment and generation of theory information, elucidation of research and the advancement of that data to the appropriate conclusions. Qualitative research may rely on multiple modes of data and investigation of people in particular situations, in their expected environment. Basic components of qualitative research essential for understanding are interpretation from the participants’ point of view and interpretation from the participants’ subjective perspectives. The role of an objective outsider is just as important for the correct analysis. The three methods of qualitative research that I have chosen are phenomenological, case study, and grounded theory.
Phenomenological Research
The phenomenological qualitative research process is when the researcher endeavors to understand and illustrate how one or more contributors experience a phenomenon. According to Creswell (2009), the phenomenon is a lived experience and the researcher attempts to gain access to the contributor’s subjective experience. The type of question for phenomenological research would be about the experience, and the question would be open-ended so that the question can lead to further inquiry. A designed form of the questionnaire as noted by Hopwood (2004), written by the researcher and may be used in a number of applied ranges of circumstances. Hopwood (2004) reported that semi-structured interviews to be used in multiple-method case study which will establish reliability. Validity of account would be used in this kind of method example. Triangulation across time and response formats will add reliability. Ethnographic research of the qualitative process focuses on the discovery and description of the culture of a group of people and a cultural event. The shared beliefs, practices, and values a group uses to understand the world
