QUALITATIVE

RESEARCH

Jay Emmanuel L. Asuncion, PhD


• Is a is multimethod in focus, involving an interpretative, naturalistic
approach to its subject matter.
• qualitative researchers study things in their natural settings,
attempting to make sense of, or interpret, phenomena in terms of
the meanings people bring to them.
• involves the studied use and collection of a variety of empirical
materials – case study, personal experience, introspective, life
story, interview, observational, historical, interactional, and visual
texts – that describe routine and problematic moments and
meanings in individuals’ lives.(Denzin and Lincoln,2005)

Qualitative data analysis


• has been a merging trend in the Social Sciences
• It has been a reaction to the positivistic paradigm of the Natural
Sciences.
• It emphasizes the social nature of human beings, structures of
the society, and different processes along structure and the role
of actors either maintaining the status quo or transforming it.

In a State University in the Philippines, there is a lack of


representation of qualitative researchers, and enabling structure
that would capacitate them (Vecaldo, Asuncion and Ulla,2019).

Qualitative data analysis


Self-reflexivity
● refers to the careful consideration of the ways in which
researchers’ past experiences, points of view, and roles impact
these same researchers’ interactions with, and interpretations of
the research scene (Tracy ,2020).
Context
● Qualitative research is about immersing oneself in a scene and
trying to make sense of it

Emic
● insiders’ point of view. It is inductive in nature. Most commonly
used in qualitative studies

Conceptualizing a Phenomenological study

● Describe the lived experiences


● Unmask assumptions
● Expose the different meanings of a certain phenomenon
Challenges:
● Philosophical grounding
● Availability of study participants and their willingness to narrate their experiences

STUDY?
• Case study research thoroughly examines a specific event,
situation, organization, or social unit.

• A case study is an in-depth examination of a current


phenomenon in its real-life context.

• Case study design relies on multiple data sources for


evidence.

• An individual, small group, community, organization, and


the nation could be considered as a case.
