RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY 2
Introduction
Qualitative research is a scientific method of observation to gather non-numerical data. In
this type of research concepts, description of the things, characteristics are included but do not
include counts, measures etc (Wu, Thompson, Aroian, McQuaid, & Deatrick, 2016). In this
report, “Examining qualitative research design and methodology” topic is selected. Further, three
articles are also selected to made the discussion about the reason which make study qualitative,
data collection and method. The discussion is also made on the contribution of these articles to
the technology theory.
Qualitative study
Rahman describes that the present study adopt both qualitative and quantitative method
but the whole analysis and data collection methods make the study more qualitative (Rahman,
2017). It is because the study provides the subjective meaning of the method, in this it also
include issues, events and other characteristics but does not move to the standardized statistics as
well as measurement. The study is qualitative it is also due to the reason because it focuses on
the mixed approach that is describing the naturalistic approach of the subject matter.
Wu, Thompson, Aroian, McQuaid, & Deatrick conduct the study by describing the
evaluation of the qualitative method in the research (Wu, Thompson, Aroian, McQuaid, &
Deatrick, 2016). Therefore, this study also make it qualitative it is because the overall study
focuses on the behavioral aspects of the study and describing the role and significance of
qualitative research in increasing and containing new theories and philosophies. The study also
focuses on describing the procedure of conducting and reporting of the research so that in-depth
information about the information will be revealed.
Symon, Cassell, & Johnson also focus on evaluating the practices which are used in
managing the qualitative research (Symon, Cassell, & Johnson, 2018). Therefore, this study is
qualitative rather than quantitative it is because researchers concentrate on describing the
positivist assumptions as well as procedure of the subject matter in more critical manner. In the
study it adopts various different practices and approaches for analyzing the information about the
