what seeks to understand a given problem or topic from the perspective of the local population it involves
qualitative research

what does NOT seek to measure outcomes but rather to truly understand outcomes
qualitative research
what can helps us to interpret and better understand the complex reality of a given situation and the implication of quantitative data ?
qualitative research
what are the main limitations of qualitative research
cost adn time
what are different types of qualitative research
-case study
-grounded theory
-phenomenology
-ethnography
-historical
what study is often not generalizability and is more often generating rich descriptions of the phenomena
quantitative
what dats invovles analysis of data such as words , pictures, or objects
qualitative data
what data involves analysis of numerical data
quantitative data
what data seeks to explore phenomena , instruments use more flexible iterative style of eliciting and categorizing responses to questions , and uses semi strucutred methods: in depth interviews , focus groups and participant observation
qualitative data
what data seeks to confirm hypotheses about phenomena , instruments use more rigid style of eliciting and categorizing responses to questions anf usses highly strucutred methods such as surveys and strucutred observation
quantitative data
which data/study has (n) predetermined based on power analysis
quantitative
if (n) emerges based on the point at which data is saturated what data/study is it
qualitative
which data/study has inclusive and exclusive criteria to provide for internal validity
quantitative
which data/study is Not randomized; purposeful, based on who will provide insight into the phenomenon being studie
qualitative
how are the questions in qualitative and quantitative different
qualitative is open ended and quantitative is closed ended
what data is Textual (obtained from audiotapes, videotapes and field notes.)
qualitative
what Data is Numerical (obtained by assigning numerical values to responses.)
quantitative
◼ Design is stable from
beginning to end.
◼ Participant responses do not
influence which questions
researcher asks next.
◼ Design is subject to statistical
assumptions and conditions
all of these points are true for which data/study
quantitative
◼ Some aspects of the study are
flexible (addition, exclusion,
wording of interview questions.
◼ Participant responses affect
researcher questions (how and
what to ask next.)
◼ Design is iterative, that is, data
collection and research
questions are adjusted
according to what is learned
these points are true for which data/study
qualitative
-participant observation
-in depth interviews
-focus groups
-artifacts: document reviews , journals
these are most common___ methods
qualitative
what is kappa statistic used for
inter rater reliability
The ____ criterion involves establishing
that the results of qualitative research are
credible or believable from the perspective of
the participant in the research.
credibility
____ refers to the degree to which the results of qualitative research can be generalized or transferred to other context or setting
transferability
from a qualitative perspective what is the primary thing respoible of the one doing the generalizing
transferability
Essentially ____ is concerned with whether we would obtain the same results if we could observe the same thing twice.
reliability
_____ emphasizes the need for the researcher to account for the ever-changing context within which research occurs.
dependability
