What is the challenge of qualitative research?
just because qualitative research doesn’t have the same constraints as quantitative research, it does not mean that anything goes it still needs have quality and credability
**quote means there has to be something that differentiates qualitative research to just talking or journalism
qualitative research overview
paradigm - constructionism
Design - Flexible and responds to context
Data - unstructured or semi-structured
analysis - non-numerical, analysis of text
sample - depth not breadth (depth of understanding not generalisability)
What is quality?
Transparency of the research process
An alternative name for quality is reliability
What is credibility?
validation of analysis
An alternative name is validity
Is proving quality and credibility the same in qualitative methods as it is in quantitative?
- ‘Reliability’ and ‘validity’ do not involve the same procedures in qualitative and quantitative approaches
- Different approaches to quality and credibility across different qualitative research methods
In qualitative data, how can we ensure quality and credibility in our study designs and methods?
Consider:
- The phenomenon of interest
- Existing theories about this phenomenon
- The social and cultural context of this phenomenon
- The range of methods that could be used to study the phenomenon
- clear and explicit account of data generalisation methods
- triangulation ( the idea that if you have two or more sources of data and you bring them together then you can get a stronger understanding of the phenomenon than if you just had one source of data)
