What’s In?
In the previous lesson, you learned the importance of knowing and
writing Literature Review. You also learned ethical issues upon emerging into
research.
In this next lesson, it will focus on types and characteristics of a
qualitative research design. What is good in this type of research is that it is
open and flexible allowing researchers modify their design so easy.
What’s New?
Activity 5.1.1 Do the following
Think of a topic that has in your mind and imagine a portrait/painting as product
of your interest then answer the ff question:
• Why the topic is seems interesting for you?
• How will you achieve the product of your painting?
• List down you objectives and plans of achieving it
1. Case Study
- Analysis of persons, groups, events, decisions, periods, policies,
institutions or other systems that are studied holistically by one or more
methods. It investigates a phenomenon within its real-life context.
Advantages:
• More understanding on complex issue
• Apply variety of methodologies and sources to investigate a
research problem.
• Extend experience or add strength to what is already known
through previous research.
• Most widely used by social scientists to examine contemporary
real-life situations and provide the basis for the application of
concepts
• It can provide detailed descriptions of specific and rare cases.
Disadvantages:
• Intense exposure to the study may bias a researcher's
interpretation of the findings
• Design does not facilitate assessment of cause and effect
relationships.
• Vital information may be missing, making the case hard to interpret
• The case may not be representative or typical of the larger
problem being investigated.
Example:
In the study of Acosta, Imee and Alexander Acosta(2016) entitled “SEEING
THROUGH A MAGNIFYING LENS: A QUALITATIVE INQUIRY OF K-12 READINESS OF
FACULTY MEMBERS FROM HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES”,
adoption of the 12-year program of formal basic education. This is the readiness of college
faculty members on how to deal the transition years of having no enrolees in college since
high school were being added with 2 years more.
This research provides a real-life understanding on the issue of k-12 implementation
on education.
2.Ethnography
-Study of cultural patterns of people and their perspective as a
group. It also involves their beliefs, values and attitudes.
Example:
In the study of Peter Gill (2008) entitled “THE EVERYDAY LIVES OF MEN: AN
ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF YOUNG ADULT MALE IDENTITY” wherein
constructing the issue of men’s identities, men’s health and well-being .The researcher
describe in details the ways which masculinities were observed every day.
The researcher took two years as participant in observing the pattern within the two
groups engaging men’s social worlds, belongingness and sex relationships.
Example:
Ilagan, Perla R. (2011) acquired an in depth understanding of the meaning of intimate
partner violence from the perceptions of Filipino men and women. A sample consisted of 37
Filipino women and 2 Filipino men who were recruited from a Barangay Center (Health
Center) in Manila, Philippines. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The
interviews were open-ended, in-depth, and audio-taped. The description of the study
participants was provided by the quantitative-descriptive data. Constant comparison method
was used in categorizing the narrative data and in examining the data for examples of similar
cases and themes.
The study revealed a rich and contextualized overview that lay a foundation for
understanding the perceptions and experiences of Filipino women and men living with
intimate partner violence. The data point to recurrent themes of poverty, gambling, alcohol
and drug use, poor communication skills, jealousy and philandering. Violation of the dignity of
a person that brought with it children as victims was implicated in the cycle of violence.
4. Narrative Inquiry
-These are tales of experience or imagination and come naturally to
human beings.
Example:
In the study of Theresa Andrea Nugent(2007) entitled “A NARRATIVE INQUIRY OF
TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS REGARDING THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
EXPERIENCES”, it describes what is happening or not from the viewpoint of the classroom
teacher towards their teaching experience to their students output. In this research, teachers
then reflect how they applied their learning to support student outcomes, the support that
students received and the barriers encountered. So in this research, there are stories
constructed by the researcher, respondents and the reader.
5. Phenomenology
-A phenomenon is something you experience on Earth as a person. It
is a sensory experience that makes you perceive or understand things that
naturally occur in your life such as death, joy, friendship, care giving, defeat,
victory, and the like.
-Comparing to ethnography, phenomenology aims at getting a
thorough understanding of an individual’s experience for the same person’s
realistic dealings with hard facts of life. Ethnography aims at defining,
describing or portraying a certain group of people possessing unique cultural
traits.
Example:
Vapor, Victor Rey Cui (2009) explored a new Philippine phenomenon that emerged
involving Filipino physicians who went back to school to take up nursing in the Philippines in
order to migrate to foreign countries to work as nurses. The purpose of his study was to
describe and to interpret the lived experiences of Filipino physician-turned nurses in the
United States. Phenomenology was used as research design, with data obtained from a
purposive sample of eight (8) self-identified physician-turned nurses in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Participants were interviewed using a single, open-ended central question. The audio
taped responses that described their lived experiences were eventually transcribed verbatim.
To interpret their experiences, clusters of themes were then generated using the Colaizzi's
(1978) method of Phenomenological Inquiry. The results of the study revealed that the
experiences of Filipino physician-turned nurses involved multidimensional issues, both in the
contexts of emigration and a professional shift from physician to nurse. Being the first of its
kind, this study will enlighten society of the lived experiences of Filipino physicians who

Activity 5.2.1 Analyze the following:
What is it?
1. Probability Sampling
- is a sampling technique in which sample from a larger population are
chosen using a method based on the theory of probability.
For instance, a population of 1000 members, each of these members
will have 1/1000 chances of being selected to be a part of a sample. It gets
2. Non-probability Sampling
- is reliant on a researcher’s ability to select members at random. This
sampling method is not a fixed or pre-defined selection process which
makes it difficult for all elements of a population to have equal opportunities
to be included in a sample.
a. Purposeful/Purposive Sampling
-is the most common sampling strategy. In this type of sampling,
participants are selected or sought based on pre-selected criteria
based on the research question.
For example, the study may be attempting to collect data from
lymphoma patients in a particular city or county. The sample size may
be predetermined or based on theoretical saturation, which is the point
at which the newly collected data no longer provides additional
insights.
b. Quota Sampling
- is a sampling technique whereby participant quotas are preset
prior to sampling. Typically, the researcher is attempting to gather data
from a certain number of participants that meet certain characteristics
that may include things such as age, sex, class, marital status, HIV
status, etc.
For example , a cigarette company wants to find out what age
group prefers what brand of cigarettes in a particular city. He/she
applies quotas on the age groups of 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, and 51+.
From this information, the researcher gauges the smoking trend
among the population of the city.
c. Snowball Sampling
- is also known as chain referral sampling. In this method, the
participants refer the researcher to others who may be able to
potentially contribute or participate in the study. This method often

Activity 5.2.3
Complete the MIND MAP summarizing key ideas and concepts learned from
the lesson
Imagine that you have arrived in Malate, Manila to conduct a case study on
working street children. A local social worker introduces you to two former
street working children and you learn that they still have lots of friends still
working on the street. As a way to identify participants for your study, you ask
the two former street working children if they can recommend and invite some
of their friends on the street to participate in the study. You also ask them to
spread word of the study in anticipation that their friends will also help you to
identify potential participants.
What’s In?
In previous lesson, you have learned the characteristics of study of
sampling techniques and determined which and how many being selected.
You also knew the most common sampling methods used in qualitative
research such as purposive sampling, quota sampling, and snowball
sampling. In this new lesson, you will learn to analyze procedures in collecting
data thru Survey, Interview and Observation.
What’s New?
Activity 5.3.1
How do you collect your data for your research? Example of choosing a breed of dog
you like as your pet. How will you able to understand the breed of dog you like
(probably research using the internet, interview persons with a particular breed of dog,
survey dog breeders or observe dog owners)?
Observation
Interview
-defined as a qualitative research technique which involves “conducting
intensive individual interviews with a small number of respondents to explore
their perspectives on a particular idea, program or situation.”Boyce, C. &
Neale, P. (2006)
Source: Connaway, L.S.& Powell, R.P.(2010) “Basic Research Methods for Librarians” ABC-
CLIO
Survey
-is often used to assess thoughts, opinions, and feelings. If possible
the use of an already designed and validated survey instrument will ensure
that the data being collected is accurate. If you design your own survey it is
necessary to pilot test the survey on a sample of your target group to ensure
that the survey instrument is measuring what it intends to measure and is
appropriate for the target group.
2. Interviewer-based Surveys
- such as face-to-face or telephone surveys generally allow more data to
be gathered than self-completion surveys and can include the use of more
complex questionnaires. Interviewers can reduce non-response by answering
respondents’ queries or concerns. They can often pick up and resolve respondent
errors. Face-to-face surveys are usually more expensive than other methodologies

Activity 5.4.1 Do the following
Look at the image on the left and critique it by answering the questions on the
table

Louvre, Paris.Scala/Art Resource, New York
What is it?
By embracing a pragmatic curiosity, you will need to describe and
explain each choice made in conceptualizing and conducting the research
because each method is justified in the conduct of its usage in the study at
hand. The answer to the question, “How does it make sense to utilize an
ethnographic methodology in a study designed to explore the effectiveness of
a psychotherapy intervention?” is “Here is what I did and why these choices
make sense in the context of my study.” Without certainty in terms of
methodological destiny, researchers are left with the tools of openness and
rhetoric when it comes to defending their research choices (Chenail, 2011).
