used for your particular study.

QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
DESIGNS
• Research design is a plan which structures a study to ensure that
the data collected and generated will contain the information
needed to answer the initial inquiry as fully and clearly as possible
(Cristobal, 2017).

• Research designs are the specific procedures involved in the


research process: data collection, data analysis, and report
writing (Creswell, 2012).
