  1. Comparision of Qualitative and Quantitative Approach to Research

  2. Description • The goal is to understand the viewpoint of a research participant. • The researcher is going to impose his or her cultural, social, and personal identity on any interpretation of the research participants’ experience.

  3. Focus: Voice of the Marginalized • The focus of qualitative research is to give voice to people at the margins of a culture. • Qualitative researchers would content, that there are a lot of people who are not accurately represented by the typical case, average or trend. • The focus of qualitative research is to describe the meaning of participants ’ experiences even if the participant or experience is not typical in the majority experience.

  4. Methods: Inductive • An inductive approach is a process of reasoning that follows a path — observation precedes theory, hypothesis and interpretation. • Qualitative researchers let the data “ speak ” to them and try to avoid going into a study with a preconceived idea of what they will find.

  5. Criteria for Truth: Phenomenological Validity • The sign of a good qualitative research study is that the analysis provides a new and compelling interpretation of a text. • Students who have read this particular study report an “ Aha! ” phenomenon: “ That happened to me! ”“ That sounds just like my roommate! ”“ I know what he / she ’ s talking about! ” • “ Aha! ” criterion is phenomenological validity.
