    Review: QUANTI vs. QUALI
    • Setting
    • Sampling
    • Mode of analysis
    • Interpretation of data
    • Findings
    Objectives:
    • To identify the strengths and
    weaknesses of qualitative research

    • To describe qualitative research in


    the areas of its limitations

    • To explain the value of qualitative


    research in its strengths and
    limitations
    Define:
    • STRENGTH
    • LIMITATION
    QUALITATIVE
    RESEARCH
    Strengths of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Obtain a more realistic view of the


    lived world that cannot be
    understood or experienced in
    numerical data and statistical
    analysis.
    Strengths of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Provide the researcher with the


    perspective of the participants of the
    study through immersion in a culture
    or situation and as a result of direct
    interaction with them.
    Strengths of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Allow the researcher to describe


    existing phenomena and current
    situations
    Strengths of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Develop flexible ways to perform


    data collection, subsequent analysis,
    and interpretation of collected
    information
    Strengths of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Yield results that can be helpful in


    pioneering new ways of
    understanding
    Strengths of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Respond to changes that occur


    while conducting the study and
    offer flexibility to shift the focus of
    the research as a result
    Strengths of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Provide a holistic view of the


    phenomena under investigation
    Strengths of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Respond to local situations,


    conditions, and needs of
    participants
    Strengths of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Interact with the research subjects


    in their own language and on their
    terms
    Strengths of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Create a descriptive capability


    based on primary and unstructured
    data
    Limitations of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Drifting away from the original


    objectives of the study in response to
    the changing nature of the context
    under which the research is
    conducted.
    Limitations of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Arriving at different conclusions


    based on the same information
    depending on the personal
    characteristics of the researcher
    Limitations of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Replication of a study is very difficult


    Limitations of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Research using human subjects


    increases the chance of ethical
    dilemmas that undermine the overall
    validity of the study
    Limitations of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    An inability to investigate causality


    between different research
    phenomena
    Limitations of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Difficulty in explaining differences in


    the quality and quantity of
    information obtained from different
    respondents and arriving at
    non-consistent conclusions
    Limitations of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Data gathering and analysis is often


    time consuming and/or expensive
    Limitations of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    May lack consistency and reliability


    because the researcher can employ
    different probing techniques and the
    respondent can choose to tell specifi
    stories and ignore others
    Limitations of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Generation of a significant amount of


    data that cannot be randomized into
    manageable parts for analysis
    Limitations of Using
    Qualitative Methods

    Requires a high level of experience


    from the researcher to obtain the
    targeted information from the
    respondent
