What’s common?
22
MICROSCOPE
• an instrument that is used to
magnify small objects
• used to observe an object at
the cellular level, allowing
scientists to see the shape of
a cell, its nucleus,
mitochondria, and other
organelles. (national
geographic society)
TELESCOPE
an instrument
used to see
objects that are
far away
(Ducksters)
CAMERA
an instrument
used to
capture
image/visual
information
(Wikipedia)
MAGNIFYING
GLASS
a convex lens that
is used to produce
a magnified image
of an
object(medical
discoveries)
DATA COLLECTION IN
QUALITATIVE
RESEARCH
DATA COLLECTION
can take the form of ‘direct data’ or
‘indirect data’
28
DIRECT DATA
29
INDIRECT DATA
are generated, firsthand, by
someone or something else,
such as with documents or
photographs reporting an event
or an artistic rendition of an
event or experience.
30
Qualitative Data
Collection
Involves
instruments in
obtaining
‘DIRECT DATA’.
31
INTERVIEW
viewed as the prime method for
qualitative data collection
most often gained through a direct
encounter between the researcher
and the participant (or several
participants) using in-depth
interviews or focus group
interviews.
32
Interviews in qualitative
research may be
■ unstructured
■ semi-structured
■ structured
33
Unstructured
The interview is designed to be informal and
conversational with the aim of encouraging
participants to express themselves in a
naturally unfolding manner.
Semi-structured
Researchers use an interview guide to
provide a set of questions for discussion.
Structured
follows a list of set questions, usually asked
in a certain order—but these questions are
still open-ended; that is, usually commencing
with words like how, why, where, or when
CONDUCTING INTERVIEW
37
CONDUCTING INTERVIEW
■ issues of confidentiality and anonymity
should be discussed with the participant
before the interview is conducted
■ interviews conducted in qualitative
research are audio-recorded or video-
recorded
38
Possible techniques include the
following:
39
Funneling
40
Probing
41
Paraphrasing
repeating what the participant has said,
without changing the meaning of what
has been said; assisting understanding
and clarity; and acting as a further
prompt
42
Observation
is the process of observing the daily
life and behaviors of participants in
their natural setting to record
aspects such as social position and
function, or actions and interactions
43
FOUR DISTINCT ROLES OF PARTICIPATION AND
OBSERVATION
Complete
Researcher is immersed in group/community
Participant
Research is usually concealed
46
Planning TIME!!!
In your group, plan the most
appropriate data gathering method you
can use in your study and provide the
explanation of your choice.
