Qualitative research – theory is used more like a ‘searchlight’
The use of a social theory is often seen as the most important difference between
quantitative and qualitative research
inductive thinking
carried out by the request of finding empirical patterns that can function as
the start of a theory
Paradigm:
reflect the questions that concern the nature of social reality an the nature of
knowledge
Ontology:
tries to answer the question of whether the social world is seen as something
outside the societal actors or as something that was created by humans in
the process of ‘fashioning
Epistemology:
nature of knowledge - concerns the question whether there is one road to
truth, or that one needs several methods to describe the meaning of social
experience.
