Lecture 1: Introduction and Focus Group Research
1A: Introduction to qualitative research
Slides:
The essence of qualitative research: “Qualitative research generally starts with the assumptions that
individuals have an active role in the construction of social reality and that research methods that
can capture this process of social construction are required.” (Boeije, 2009. p.p 6)
Diversity in qualitative research:
Conversation and/or discourse analysis from a language point of view or…,
Qualitative research to interpret and explain human experiences and behaviour.
Phenomenology (i.e. by interviewing)
Ethnographic studies (i.e. by observing)
Case study analysis (i.e. by focus group research)
Participatory research (i.e. by usability research)
Narrative studies (i.e. by content or discourse analysis)
Qualitative and quantitative research might be intertwined (see examples)
Boeije (2009), on page 11 of her book, use a definition for qualitative research, taking into account
three key elements:
1. Qualitative research is looking for meaning
2. Qualitative research is using methods enabling contact with or between humans / participants
3. Qualitative research involves the reporting of qualitative findings
How to design a qualitative research:
In chapter 2 of Boeije (2009), the process outline of designing a qualitative research is presented.
Basically Boeije distinguishes following steps in setting-up a qualitative research:
1. Draft a research planning / proposal
2. Perform a literature review
3. Formulate the research question and purpose of the study
4. Legitimize the choice for qualitative research
5. Formulate a strategy for sampling and recruiting participants
, Perform a literature review
Boeije (2009) challenges whether literature research actually relevant when conducting
qualitative research…
It was argued that, performing a literature review may block researchers from being
open-minded towards the topic being researched.
However, currently - and in general - a proper literature review in qualitative research is
perceived as very important…
…, to accumulate on to other / previous research findings
…, to proper introduce the central problem area or domain
…, to indicate the gaps in literature addressed by the study
…, to convince funding commissioners of the (scientific) relevance of the proposed study
Legitimize the choice for qualitative research
It is important that choosing a qualitative approach is in line with the central research question
and purpose. Depending on the topic(s) studied, reasons to choose for a qualitative design can
be because of:
The explorative nature of the topic
The descriptive nature of the topic
The explanatory nature of the study
The changing nature of the topic(s) studied / responsiveness of the method
The (direct) usability of findings
The sensitive nature of the topic(s) studied
Formulate a strategy for sampling and recruiting participants
1. Choose or select the appropriate research context or setting to collect data and define a strategy
to recruit participants.
Ultimately this is important to demonstrate (face) validity of research findings
2. Purposive sampling of participants
More or less contrary to the (random) sampling procedures in quantitative
research, selecting participants based on their specific characteristics is often
applied in qualitative research.
However, and depending on the topic, sampling of participants may also involve
looking for a degree of diversity in the population.
Hence, depending on the topics studied, you may need to focus, or you may
need to diverge participant selection and recruitment.
Formulate a strategy for sampling and recruiting participants
Recruiting and accessing (or contacting) participants can be a very open or public procedure, as
well as a very closed or selective procedure.
Depending on the sensitivity of the topic, some ethical concerns may also arise.
Think about recruiting participants with certain type of illness
Or recruiting participants who have been a victim of (cyber-)bullying on the workplace.
Always consider whether you are targeting the right participants for your research and be as
objective as possible when selecting your participants.
Think about random chance when selecting participants
