NIM 2208555
It studies people in their natural settings to
identify how their experiences and behavior
are shaped by their context (hennink et al.,
2013)

Any research that doesn’t involve

numerical data

Instead uses words, pictures, photos,

videos, and audio recordings. Field notes,
generalities. People’s own words.

Tends to start with a broad question

rather than a specific hypothesis

Develop a theory rather than start with

one → inductive rather than deductive
 MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

✓Importance of the context

✓Emic View of the world
✓Emphasis on the process
✓Inductive approach
✓Interaction with participants
✓Focus on understanding and description
✓On-going development of hypotheses and
instruments
✓Narrative form

PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN CONDUCTING QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

✓Layered Truth
✓Sensitisation
✓Flexibilty
✓The Total Process
✓Social Conflicts
✓Distortion
✓Personal Strains
✓Narrative form

TO DATA COLLECTION
In the qualitative research approach, data collection is usually
unstructured and data is collected for non-numerical analysis.
Usually, the methods of data collection of all the strategies of
qualitative inquiry–ethnography, phenomenological, grounded
theory, narrative, and case studies are similar. Also, in qualitative
research, multiple methods of data collection or collection of data
from multiple sources are practiced. This is called triangulation
and is employed in order to collect data that provide sufficient
data, provide more information on a phenomenon or enhance
deeper analysis and understanding of a research study.

Types of triangulation may include method triangulation, source

triangulation, analysis triangulation, and even theory triangulation
