Qualitative
• Argues that meaning is situated in a particular perspective or context.
• Different people have different perspectives and contexts.
• There are many meanings in the world, none of which is necessarily more valid or true than another.

Qualitative
• Tends not to state hypotheses or research procedures before data is collected.
• Research problems and methods evolve as understanding of the research context deepens.

Qualitative
• Context is not controlled.• Number of participants tends to be small
because of time intensive methods like interviews.
• Researchers often act with participants during a study

Qualitative and Quantitative
• Should not be considered oppositional.• Together - represent the full range of
educational research methods.• Both may be administered in some studies.
– E.g. administration of a questionaire (quantitative) may be followed up by a small number of detailed interviews (qualitative).

Qualitative Research Methods
• Usually involves long term immersion in setting.
• Common methods of data collection include:– observation, interviewing, tape and video
recording, examining artifacts, and participant observation (researcher becomes part of the group being studied)

Guidelines for Classification
• Type of method needed depends on the problem being studied.
• Same general problem can be investigated using many types of research.

Guidelines for Classification
• Knowing the type of research applied helps one identify the important aspects to examine in evaluating the study.

Guidelines for Classification
• The more information available, the easier it is to classify.
![Page 18: Qualitative Argues that meaning is situated in a particular perspective or context. Different people have different perspectives and contexts. There are.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649e615503460f94b5c2bd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Guidelines for Classification
• Method for classifying
– determine whether qualitative or quantitative.– If quantitative, identify purpose to determine
whether it is description, correlational, causal comparative, or experimental.

Guidelines for Classification
• If qualitative, determine whether it is historical or qualitative– look for key words in the title of the study:
survey, description, relationship, historical, culture, and the like.
