Research Design: Week 8- 6/11/17
Qualitative Approaches

1. Three epistemological paradigms in qualitative research.
2. Nine strategies to increase validity in qualitative research.
3. Five qualitative research designs.
4. Four data collection methods.
5. Two empirical examples.
Note that this represents a selection and is not exhaustive.
Slide 3: Major Paradigms in Qualitative Research Based on Creswell and Miller
(2000)
1. Post positivist or systematic paradigm.
2. Constructivist or interpretive paradigm.
3. Critical perspective.
Slide 4: 1. The Post positivist or systematic paradigm
“Post positivist” because naive positivism is not sufficient to capture qualitative
nuances. I Qualitative research can and should be rigorous.
Therefore, formal procedures for ensuring validity can be implemented.
(Internal, external, and construct validity).
Slide 5: 2. The Constructivist or Interpretive Paradigm
Knowledge can only produce relative to specific units.
Interpretation, rather than objective measurement.
Validity:
1. Trustworthiness (credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability).
2. Authenticity (fairness, enlarges personal constructions, leads to improved
understanding of constructions of others, stimulates action, and empowers action).
(≈ Internal validity; try to avoid participant effects.)
(External validity is considered as not applicable.)
Slide 6: 3. The Critical Perspective
Researchers should uncover the hidden assumptions about how narrative accounts
are constructed, read, and interpreted.
Historical situations of inquiry, a situatedness based on social, political, cultural,
economic, ethnic, and gender antecedents of the studied situations.
Focus on participant effects and experimenter effects (= internal validity).
Describing, rather than minimising bias.
Slide 7: Recapitulation of the Scientific Method See King, Keohane and Verba
(1994), among others
Characteristics of Scientific R/S:
1. The goal is (descriptive or causal) inference.
2. The procedures are public.
3. The conclusions are uncertain (and we need to assess uncertainty).
4. The content is the method.
