Week 18-19: Reporting and sharing the findings Flashcards
happens when qualitative researchers begin write their initial conclusions and observations, sometimes after every focus group, interview or observational event. These conclusions are initially preliminary, subject to revision as the project proceeds. Interim analyses may suggest new questions for future interviews and different types of participants to sample
memoing
involves checking and rechecking the data to ensure the initial conclusions are realistic, supportable, and valid
verification
qualitative researchers’ term for trustworthiness and reliability. Reliability in qualitative research is the degree of consistency with which the same researcher assigns similar observations and interpretations at different times.
