Research Assumptions 6

Qualitative research involves interacting with people to understand their perspectives and experiences. It assumes there are multiple realities that can be understood through descriptive fieldwork like interviews and observation. The research design remains flexible as the researcher seeks to understand different viewpoints and verify findings by comparing to participants. Common practices in qualitative research include a flexible design adapted to the field, using field-based textual data rather than numbers, and interpreting varied data sources through different techniques.
