MODULE 1:
Fundamentals of qualitative research
What is qualitative research?
- Study of social phenomenon in detail
- Research that focuses on experiences, interpretations, or motivations of people
- Goal is to understand how people understand the world around them and why they
do so
- Understand the social and cultural context
The aim is to understand how they see things and why. About capturing their direct
experiences and own words
Important feature of qualitative research is the description and understanding of
interactions and processes that happen in real life. How the social and cultural context of
actions or interactions influence people’s actions or interactions.
Questions that qualitative research can answer:
- What is happening here?
- Why is this happening?
- What does it mean to people?
- How is this influencing people?
- When did what occur?
- How did it evolve over time?
Or when there is little known about the phenomenon that have not been widely studied
before.
Action research is a method where research work directly together with an organization and
jointly generate new knowledge by introducing new actionplans directly into the
organization.
, Philosophical assumptions
And how they influence and guide your research design?
Positivistic:
Considers the world around us objective, so a true reality that exists for everybody. The
reality is independent from the researcher and can be interpreted through reasoning and
logic. The goal is to explain true reality and generalizing. The methods used are systematic
categorization and hypothesis and variables.
Interpretive:
Interpretants want to study the phenomena in their natural state and surroundings to see
the reality as constructed by individuals. They interpret the world through the eyes of the
contestants. They believe that reality is constructed and the goal is to understand and
describe meaning that individuals assign to phenomena. The methods used are inductively
uncover context-dependent meaning.
Critical:
Based on critical theory and these researches assume that social reality is based on
mechanisms and structures that influences actions, interactions, and events. Might focus on
complicated relationships. Reality is shaped by interests, knowledge, power and forms of
social control. The goal of criticism is based on existing social structures, and sometimes
emancipation to sometimes improve a situation. The methods used are historical evolution
and power structures.
