Qualitative Research : Quantitative Research

Qualitative research is subjective data and is often used in the social sciences (Sarantakos 2013, p. 48). Qualitative research is devoted to gathering facts, this can be completed through personal experiences, behaviours, and observations (Sarantakos 2013, p. 46). The purpose of qualitative research is to gather an in depth understanding of human behaviour and the explanations for the behaviour (Martijn & Sharpe 2006, p. 1). An issue with only using a qualitative method is efficacy, qualitative studies cannot address relationships between variables with the degree of accuracy that is required to establish social trends (Sarantakos 2013, p. 46).

Qualitative research reflects different ways that researcher’s collect data and explore all of the information through literature review. Participant’s that are reviewing is often observed for analysis while “the role of the researcher focuses as the primary data collection instrument necessitates the identification of personal values, assumptions and biases at the outset of the study; Qualitative researchers ask at least one central question” (Creswell, 2014, which can be explored in several contexts with further questions. According to the text Research Design (2014) “the researcher’s role is typically involved in a

According to Schneider, Elliot, LoBiondo-Wood & Haber (2004), qualitative research methods, search for the meaning and understanding of human experiences in a naturalistic setting. A researcher obtains subjective facts in order to explore the experiences of each participant (Schneider, Elliot, LoBiondo-Wood & Haber 2004). As a result, qualitative research is a means in which a researcher gains an insight into the participant's point of view concerning their personal experiences; in order gain an understanding of the information given. Therefore this allows a researcher to collect subjective information to create a description of the phenomenon (Vishnevsky & Beanlands 2004).

The title of this research study is: The internet and student research: teaching critical evaluation skills. I believe that this title is suitable for the research study because it is an overview of the information that relates the point of the study itself which indicates a connection between students and their use of the internet when it comes to utilizing the internet as a research tool. The study reflects the central phenomenon by exploring

The article I chose to discuss is: Davis, H. A., & Bowman, S. L. (2015). Examining experiences of weight-related oppression in a bariatric sample: A qualitative exploration.

Death is something that we all have to deal with, be it in our profession or in our daily lives. This article discusses the reasons why caring for dying patients is stressful for nurses and is a high risk for burn out. The article also gives findings related to the study and gives recommendations based on the results. The study shows that education is needed for the nurses that care for the dying patient.

The study had the aim to investigate the side effects of SSRIs (Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) medication including "fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Aropax/ Paxil), sertraline (Zoloft), citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro) and fluvoxamine (Luvox)" (p. 1389). The interpretative phenomenological analysis described women's experiences who coping with "sexual difficulties as desire, arousal, orgasm and pain", caused by consumption from the medication (p. 1390).

Within this Chapter the reader will be able to have a detailed understanding of the process of the research. Through my qualitative descriptive approach, I will be able to focus on how to support children in the classroom through the experience of my participants. The way I plan on collecting data is by conducting visits in three different

When conducting research I will be undertaking qualitative research. One of the reason I will be using qualitative research is because I would like to understand the respondents experience and view on whether they felt that the technology they used helped or hindered their relationship with friends and family while they were living abroad. O'Leary (2014) gives an excellent explanation of qualitative research, she states "it also strongly argues the value of depth over quantity and works at developing into social complexities in order to truly explore and understand the interactions, processes, lived experiences and belief systems that are a part of individuals institutions, cultural groups and even the everyday" (O'Leary 2014:130).

Just like all research, qualitative research is a type of research that seeks answers to a question; is systematically conducted and involves the collection of evidence. However, the uniqueness of qualitative research is that you may produce findings that were not determined in advance

Qualitative Research is commonly used to develop a basic understanding of the problem. It is basically non-statistical in type of market research. It mainly uses an inductive technique, which is data that related to certain topics are gathered and grouped together into appropriate categories. The explanations usually developed from the data itself. It is used in experimental research design and expressive research at times also. The qualitative data gathered in several forms such as individual interview transcriptions; documents, journals and notes or records that have been made while observation, focus group and action research. Usually the qualitative research data collection methods are time consumable. Therefore the data is usually will be collected in a smaller sample to make it inexpensive. The main advantage of the qualitative data collection is that the information or result will be richer and usually has a deeper insight of a subject that under the study.

Qualitative research is an approach that does not rely on proving a theory, a set of variables, or running an experiment. Rather, a qualitative research approach allows for exploring and understanding meaning individuals or groups ascribe to a social or human problem. A qualitative approach allows for meaning and explanations to develop through, interviews, review of artifacts, and observations (Neuman, 2002).

Qualitative research is a technique of promoting research that stresses the quality according to the user’s point of view and approaches. In depth interviews and focus groups are best examples of qualitative research. [Laura Lake, 2009]

The method of the research is qualitative using semi-structured interviews. Qualitative researchers are interested to see how people make sense of their world and experiences and understanding the meaning they have constructed (Merriam, 2009). The qualitative research deals with texts, images and sounds while quantitative research deals with numeric data.

Qualitative research method is used in attempt to have a better understanding on the subject matter i.e. the way the
