This document provides an overview of qualitative research design. It describes the key characteristics of qualitative research, including that the researcher is the primary observer and aims to understand individual experiences and meanings. The document outlines several strengths of qualitative research such as its ability to provide depth and flexibility, but also notes limitations like potential for bias and difficulty reproducing results. Finally, it describes several common qualitative research approaches like ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory, narrative research, and case studies, and provides examples of how each could be applied.

Lecturette
Qualitative research brings about connectivity and better understanding of people, situations, and cases under study.
In searching for truth, always explore both sides of the story. Just as in choosing the most suitable research method, explore each method’s strength and weaknesses.
Qualitative research has its share of strengths and weaknesses that must be addressed early on while creating the research design.
Characteristics of Qualitative Research
1. The researcher is the primary observer in qualitative research.
2. A qualitative researcher is a keen observer. 3. Qualitative research offers a wide array of designs, focusing on individual experiences, societies, cultures, languages and communication. 4. Inductive reasoning is largely used in analyzing qualitative data. 1 | Practical Research 2 5. A qualitative researcher is concerned with meaning and interpretations.
Strengths of Qualitative Research
A research problem can be examined with greater detail and depth.
Research instruments, such as interview questions, can be made flexible based on information that has recently surfaced. The research framework can be fluid, depending on the availability of information. Results generated from qualitative research are largely from human experiences and observations. Qualitative research often requires a small sample size. Qualitative research is an open-ended process. Unique and specific cases are selected and studied to enable the collection of detailed information and bring about in-depth understanding of the research problem. Data collection is usually conducted on-site. Limitations of Qualitative Research
Qualitative data is generally subjective and can be influenced by the researcher’s biases. Data obtained from qualitative research typically comes from a small sample size and therefore may not be statistically represented. Data analysis, such as coding and triangulation (which will be further discussed in module 11), can be time-consuming. Acceptability of qualitative data is not always guaranteed. Qualitative data cannot be reproduced. Doing duplicates can be difficult. Selection of human subjects/participants can be problematic due to ethical and confidentiality issues.
Qualitative Research Approaches
1. Ethnography – The ethnographic approach to qualitative research is derived from
anthropology. In this approach, the ethnographer studies cultural groups. Ethnographic parameters may include: Tribal Religious Geographical Shared experiences
Example: The lifestyle of the Mangyans of Mindoro
2. Phenomenology – This approach refers to the study of phenomena involving human events, situations, concepts, experiences, or needs. It explores the world of the research participants by learning the meanings of their feelings, thoughts, insights, and perceptions regarding a particular phenomenon.
Example: The unique attributes of gifted children as compared to those children with average intelligence
3. Narrative Research – This approach narrates the life experiences of an individual as told to the researcher or gathered from available documents or materials. Narrative research highlights the special events in an individual’s life.
4. Grounded Theory – A qualitative research design in which the researcher generates theories that are “grounded” in data from the field, arising from the actions, interactions, and social processes undertaken by the participants.
2 | Practical Research 2 5. Case Study – This approach presents a detailed analysis of a specific issue using a specific case or multiple cases within the bounded system.
Example: The English language acquisition of Filipino children
Analysis Direction: Given the following list of research problems, what would be the most suitable qualitative research approach to employ for each? Write your answer below each item.

Application Direction: Supply what is asked in the Learning Map graphic organizer.
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
What is qualitative research?
Qualitative research is a naturalistic inquiry process that seeks an in-depth understanding of social phenomena in their natural context. It focuses on the "why" of social phenomena rather than the "what," and it is based on direct experiences of humans as meaning-making agents in their daily lives. Kinds of Qualitative Research Describe this research 1.One-on-one interview One-on-one interviews are exactly what they sound like: one-on-one interviews between a single respondent and a professional qualitative researcher. This method aids comprehension and can capture additional information. They are also adaptable, supporting structured, semi-structured, and even unstructured approaches. 2.Focus groups A focus group is a type of qualitative research in which a group of people are polled to determine their perceptions, opinions, beliefs, and attitudes toward a product, service, concept, advertisement, idea, or packaging. 3.Ethnographic research Ethnographic methods are a research method that examines people in their cultural context with the goal of producing a narrative account of that culture against a theoretical backdrop. 4.Case study research A qualitative case study is a research methodology that aids in the exploration of a phenomenon within a specific context using various data sources, and it does so through a variety of lenses in order to reveal multiple facets of the phenomenon.
3 | Practical Research 2 5.Record keeping Record keeping is similar to going to the library in that you go through books or other reference materials to collect relevant data. As a data source, this method employs pre-existing reliable documents and similar sources of information.

WEEK 2&3

Directions: Compare and contrast the following pairs of qualitative research.
1. Ethnography and Case Study
Answer: The primary distinction between case studies and ethnography is their focus. Case studies aim to describe the nature of phenomena through a detailed investigation of individual cases, whereas ethnography aims to explore cultural phenomena. Furthermore, both approaches share a theoretical framework.
2. Phenomenology and Grounded Theory
Answer: The goal of phenomenology is to investigate how people make sense of their lived experiences; discourse analysis investigates how language is used to achieve personal, social, and political goals; and grounded theory creates explanatory theories of fundamental social processes that are studied in context. Case studies and phenomenology are both used in research processes. They are also interested in conducting in-depth investigations into their respective subjects.
3. Narrative Research and Ethnography
Answer: In narrative research, the inquirer focuses on the individual's stories and often arranges these stories chronologically; in ethnography, the focus is on placing the individuals' stories within the context of their culture and culture-sharing group.
