Introduction to Qualitative Research
Why it is important: Qualitative research aims to get a better understanding through first-hand experience, truthful reporting, and quotations of actual conversations. It aims to understand how the participants derive meaning from their surroundings, and how their meaning influences their behavior.
Critical thinking questions:
- When should you mix qualitative and quantitative research methods? How should these methods be integrated with one another?
- Is there a benefit to doing qualitative analysis by hand instead of using software such as Atlas.ti or Nvivo?
- How do you frame your qualitative results for a journal that typically publishes quantitative research?
