Kristina D. Cvetich, Sesión 11
In this chapter, the author examines the nature of
qualitative research; emphasizing that such research does not simply mean the
absence of numbers. It is inductive, constructionist and interpretivist, which
differentiate it from quantitative research. Qualitative research can take many
different forms and has passed through a number of stages, which have allowed
it to transform and mature as a research method.
The nature of qualitative research in general is important
for academic research since it allows one to decide what type of research one
wishes to participate in. Such a decision is essential for the formation of
ones research question.
The critiques of qualitative research is an element that is
useful in the development of my thesis because it allows me to weigh the pros
and cons of quantitative and qualitative research and ultimately decide what
type of method to use.
