study.

Known reliability and validity
It is uniquely suited to address research issues or questions that might be difficult, if not
impossible, to investigate.
Types of issues or questions effectively addressed by qualitative research
The participants and the researcher share the “research space” in which certain conventions for
communication (knowingly or not) may be formed that in turn shape the reality the researcher is
capturing in the data
Participant-researcher relationship
It is a philosophical movement originating in the 20th century, the primary objective of which is
the direct investigation and description of phenomena as consciously experienced, without
theories about their causal explanation and as free as possible from unexamined preconceptions
and presuppositions.
Phenomenology
What purpose of research is shown? : Determining the causes and effects or the nature of the
condition
to analyze
It derives meaning from data of multiple sources.
Importance of meaning
These are impotance of Qualitative Research across fields, except:
A conceptual audacity is a tool that enables us to see new and perhaps surprising aspects of
the everyday lives that we lead. This may in turn generate new forms of human action
Determine the ethical dillema of research being describe: Researchers must be responsible and
polite to ask permission from their research informants or participants before they collect data
from them.
Informed consent
It shows the relationships between two or more variables.
Correlational Research

Drinking
What purpose of research is shown? : Lead them to make their own judgment based on the data
presented in your study.
to convince
These are importance of research in everyday life, except:
to get high grades
Determine the ethics of research being describe: It occurs when some benefit to which a person
is entitled is denied without good reason or when some burden is imposed unduly.
Observe justice
It is a process that demands planning, forethought, commitment and persistence. And like any
journey, it needs to be managed, navigated, and negotiated from early conception to final
destination.
Research Adventure
It governs the entire study. It is usually in a statement form that introduces the general problem
of the research.
Major problem
Determine the ethical dillema of research being describe: Misrepresentation of any form is
wrong in scientific research. Authorship requires “significant intellectual contribution”
Authorship
Determine the ethics of research being describe: The investigator should give forethought to the
maximization of benefits and the reduction of risk that might occur from the research.
Maximize possible benefits and minimize possible harms
It is designed to match the dynamics of the evolving research process (Klenke, 2008). It can be
modified or changed depending on the need to measure the issue or the phenomenon under
study.
Flexible design
It offer unique enhancements to qualitative research designs. The opportunity to select the time
and place for participation empowers these participants. It can also enrich their responses by
attaching files, images, links to websites, and voice response.
Unique capabilities of online and mobile qualitative research
This section identifies the people or institution who will benefit from the findings of the study.
Research benefits
Research Beneficiaries
Qualitative research requires the researcher’s skills that go beyond the usual qualities of
organization, attention to detail, and analytical abilities that are necessary for all researchers.
Skill set required of the researcher
This is essential in the process of research. It is consider in terms of emotions, the biography of
the researcher, researcher identity and insights that the research “adventure” can bring in relation
to the researcher’s self.
Research Experience
In other words, the ______ variable is the cause, while the ______ variable is the effect.
Dependent - Independent
Determine the ethics of research being describe: The investigator must ensure that the subject has
received a full disclosure of the nature of the study, the risks, benefits and alternatives, with an
