, 1 - The arc of naturalistic inquiry
Naturalistic inquiry = Research approach that seeks to understand
phenomena in their natural settings without artificial constraints.
Arc (of naturalistic inquiry) = The overall trajectory of naturalistic research,
including immersion, data collection, analysis, interpretation, and
dissemination.
Empirical cycle (spiral) = A continuous process of observation, hypothesis
formation, testing, and refinement, represented as a spiral to indicate the
iterative progress.
Reflexive understanding = Critically examining one’s biases and
assumptions through the research process to enhance awareness of
personal influence.
Iterative research = Cyclical process of refining research through repeated
data collection, analysis, and interpretation. A flexible and responsive way
to emerging insights.
Qualitative research = Research that focuses on understanding through
non-numerical data and emphasizes context, meaning, and subjective
experiences.
2 - On naturalistic inquiry: Key issues and
practices
Interpretivism = Focuses on understanding subjective meanings and
intentions in social phenomena.
Positivism = Seeks objective truths through empirical observation and
scientific methods.
Quantitative = Research that involves numerical data collection and
statistical analysis (opposite of qualitative).
Validity = Reflects the accuracy of research findings in measuring what
they claim to measure.
Reliability = Indicates the consistency of research results over repeated
measurements.
Verstehen = Empathetic understanding from the perspective of those who
are being studied.
