Q

How does the qualitative research process differ from the quantitative process?

A

It can incorporate different levels of objectivity, much more dynamism between the different steps, and a focus on theory generation, not hypothesis testing.

Q

What is analytical induction?

A

An iterative form of qualitative, inductive method of data collection, analysis, and theory generation. As one collects data, one also interprets it and formulates a range of ideas to test out on additional data collected.

Q

What is step 1 of the qualitative research process?

A

Gather observations

21
Q

What is step 2 of the qualitative research process?

A

Look for patterns in Data

22
Q

What is step 3 of the qualitative research process?

A

formulate tentative ideas (hypothesis) to explore by gathering more data

23
Q

What is step 4 of the qualitative research process?

A

Generation of theory

24
Q

What is reflexivity?

A

A process where researchers engage in self-critical action that allows them to explore and critically evaluate how their own values attitudes, nd biases may enter into the research process. It is the awareness and tending to this type of researcher that serves to make the project more objective

25
Q

What is step 1 of creating a research design?

A

reflect on your research standpoint before you begin

26
Q

What is step 2 of creating a research design?

A

Maintain a right link between the research question and research design

27
Q

What is step 3 of creating a research design?

A

Formulate a research question

28
Q

What are the three kinds of research questions?

A

exploratory, descriptive, explanatory

29
Q

What factors can influence the selection of a research trajectory?

A

ethics, time, money, social characteristics, available literature, ease of obtaining subjects, worldview– all sorts of stuff

30
Q

When I select a research trajectory, which consideration is the most important?

A

The theoretical traditions they employ– these will dictate all the following methods.

32
Q

What is the logic of a large sample?

A

generalizability

33
Q

what is the logic of a small sample?

35
Q

What is a sampling procedure?

A

The variety of sampling methods employed to collect data in any given research project.

36
Q

How many sampling procedures can be used in a quantitative study?

A

Theoretical saturation

42
Q

What is step 4 of creating a research design?

A

Drawing a research sample

Detail any issues of validity and any limitations

48
Q

What is validity?
