What is a research design?
Similar to building a house, a research design

is your guide for you to finish your research.
This may include answering the 5W’s:
What? Why? Who? Where? When?
Dawson (2002) explains the importance of these
questions on how you are going to get the answers for
your research questions.
What- is your research all about? What do you

want to find out? What problems do you want to
solve? It is important to have answers to these
questions in the very beginning of your research.
Answers to these questions will give you guide on
how you are going to approach your research topic.
Why- do you want to do your research? This question
should be answered at the significance of the study. It
may be that you want to do your research because it is
a requirement. However, there are other reasons as to
why you chose that specific topic. Whatever the
reason may be, it is important to have a clear vision
on why you want to continue your research.
Who- will take part in your research? Who will
participate in your study? You should have a clear
indication on the specific type of people that will take
part in your study (age, gender, economic status, etc.).
Where- will you gather all information needed for
your research? This part of your research should take
into consideration your capabilities as a researcher. If
you think that your data and participants in research
will be too far away, then it’s much better to change
your topic. You will learn more about this in the
following discussions. When- are you going to start
gathering information for your research? When will
you do interviews? When will you interpret and
analyze your data? This should be answered
immediately knowing that you only have a short time
in completing your work.
How do we relate the 5W’s to research design?
Knowing how to answer those questions in your
own topic saves you a lot of time in thinking about
your research as a whole. You need to have a clear
indication what your research is all about, why
you want to do it, who will be your respondents,
where are you going to get the information and
when will you get it.
Choosing the appropriate research
design
 There are 4 approaches in research design:

● Ethnography
● Case Study
● Phenomenology
● Historical Approach
Ethnography
From the word ethno=people and graphy= writing.
Ethnography translates to writing about people.
This type of approach to qualitative research aims to

study a particular group of people in their natural settings.
This particular study wants to describe and interpret the
behavior of different kinds of people, culture or population.
This can pertain to a specific type of culture, community,
school, or workplace.
For example, you may want to study a
particular type of indigenous people, or you
may want to study about the behavior of
students in a classroom. This type of
approach is the most appropriate for your
research.
Case Study
 If you want to learn deeper and more specific

details of a certain situation, group of people or an
individual, you may want to use case studies. The
difference of case study with other approaches to
qualitative research is that it gives a more in-depth
analysis to a topic with a use of more data gathering
procedures at the same time.
Phenomenology
 This type of approach to qualitative research wants to

study the phenomenon or experiences of people. The
purpose of this approach is to give an idea on how
individuals or a group of people react or experience a
certain phenomenon. A phenomenon can be a rare
occurrence or an experience of an individual that is not
common. An example of this can be applied when we want
to study about the experiences of teenagers to bullying or
physical abuse.
Historical Approach
 To give you a proper explanation of this type of approach,

think of the 1986 EDSA Revolution; think about World War II or
the past presidential elections. Historical approach is a systematic
collection and evaluation of information which have occurred in the
past. This can be in a form of documents, stories, artifacts, videos,
etc. What you want to do is to examine the validity of these
documents, or if you want to add more information about a past
event that hasn’t yet emerged. You might want to ask questions like
“What is the purpose of the document?” “Are there other forms of
documents or information that I can add?
