Rigour
The trustworthiness of qualitative research
Phenomenology design
Investigator attempts to identify and suspend their own preconceived notions as to the nature of the phenomenon under investigation, in order to allow the subjects voice to be heard. The aim is to produce a true description of the phenomenon of interest.
Focuses on those who have experienced.
Ethnography design
Provides a framework for studying the meanings, patterns and experiences of a defined cultural group
Aim of the researcher is to become an active participant in the daily life of the group, submerging themselves within cultural settings of the subjects in order to learn from the group.
Participants have common characteristics, aims provide a portrait of the people.
Grounded theory
Generate theory and explanation grounded in real life observation through the formalised collection and analysis of qualitative data.
Essentially a methodology, incorporating a formalised process of induction, deduction and verification, and a set of strategies of data analysis to improve rigour and theoretical depth.
Builds theory from raw data, collection from a variety of sources
Narrative design
Focus on persons story. Aims to illustrate experience of events through the natural medium of storytelling and considers that the person is a whole who can only be meaningfully understood from a consideration of that whole.
Values human perception and subjectivity.
Action research
The persist of knowledge through working collaboratively on describing the social world And acting on it in order to change it
Seeks to understand why it is
Happening.
Discourse analysis
The capturing of the public, professional, political and proud ate discourses and deconstructing these messages.
No single view, theory or understanding should be privileged over another. Aims to reveal the message in which is being said, through and done about a specific topic. Data collection through text, spoken words etc
Trustworthiness
The extent to which findings are an authentic representation of the phenomenon under investigation.
Will allow determination of:
Credibility, dependability, confirmation it’s, transferability
A thick description
Detailed description of the context and circumstances surrounding the phenomenon being studied.
Ensures that the meanings and importance of behaviours and events studied can be understood.
Look for rantional for method, classification of research process, details of raw data generated, details of data analysis method
Triangulation
The use of multiple strategies to study the same phenomenon, AIDS configuration of findings, adds to completeness of study findings
Member checking
Involvement of participants in data analysis process, by enabling them to read, comment on and contribute to the findings.
Collaboration
Degree of collaboration between researchers and participants
Determines the extent to which qualitative research succeeds in its aim to privilege the perspectives, views and experiences of the research participants
Reflexivity
The direct acknowledgement by the researcher that he / she is an active participant in the research process and as such has a direct and significant influence on the development of findings
Look for potential research bias
transferability
Degree to which the results of the study provide insight into and can be applied to other practice contexts. Comparative to external validity
