Document Summary
Chapter 8- identifying the best research design to fit the question. Analysis focuses on codes, themes and patterns in the data; use computer software programs to assist with coding and analysis. Research reports often contain direct quotes from participants that provide rich illustrations of themes; allows researchers to generalize to a theoretical understanding of the phenomenon being examined. Meta-study involves the analysis and synthesis of qualitative findings, methods, and theories of frame-works from different studies to develop overarching or more conclusive ways of thinking about phenomena. Types of qualitative research: ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory, life history, and case study. Phenomenology: describe accurately the lived experiences of people and not to generate theories or models of the phenomena being studied. In-depth interviews are the most common means of data collection; emerging themes are often. Origins are in philosophy validated with participants because their meanings of that lived experience are central in phenomenological study.
