Emergent

Ongoing analysis guiding design decisionMay not know the direction of the studyat the beginning of the inquiry
Bricolage
Putting together a complex array of datafrom various sources to arrive at a holistic understanding of a phenomenon

Qualitative design

-flexible


-holistic


-advanced planning to support flexibility


-intense research involvement (b/c of emerging)

Advanced planning

-Selecting a research tradition

-Selecting a study site


-Identifying gatekeepers, gaining entréeGatekeepers – parents of children, nursesof patients-Identifying needed equipment for thefield


-Determining max time needed


-Identifying all needed equipment


-Gaining ethical approval

Bracketing
-inphenomenological inquiries, the process of identifying and holding in abeyancean preconceived beliefs and opinions about the phenomena under study

(Taking preconceived opinions and beliefs and being aware of it)


-journaling helps with this

Typical Phases in Qualitative Design
-Orientation and overview(Figuring out what is known about thesubject)

-Focused exploration


-Confirmation and closure(Efforts to ascertain trustworthiness ofthe findings; Discussing findings with the subjects ofthe research)

Types of Ethnography
○Macroethnography:largecultural unit

○Microethnography:sub-culturalunit


○Autoethnography:writer’s subjective experience


○Focused ethnography:context specific○Ethnonursingresearch(Leininger’s cultural work)

Ethnography

-Relies on extensive, labour-intensivefieldwork-Culture is inferred from the group’swords, actions, and products

- Assumption: Cultures guide the way peoplestructure their experiences


-Seeks an emicperspective(insider’s view) of the culture


-Relies on a wide range of data sources


-Produces an in-depth, holistic portraitof the culture under study


-25-50 informants


-Try to reveal tacitknowledge(Knowledge so deep in the cultureparticipants are not even aware of it; e.g. Learning; Relationships)

Phenomenology
-Focuses on the description andinterpretation of people’s lived experience

-Asks: What is the Essence of a phenomenonand what does it mean?


-Acknowledges people’s physical ties totheir world


-Four aspects of experience: Lived space, Lived body, Lived time, Lived human relation


-Main data source:In depth conversations with participantswho have experienced the phenomenon


-Smalls study group (10 or fewer)

DescriptivePhenomenology
-Based on philosophy of Husserl – he wasinterested in what we know as persons.

-Involves the careful description ofordinary, conscious experience of everyday lifeSteps: Bracketing; Intuiting(being open to meaning); Analyzing; Describing

Interpretive Phenomenology
-Emphasis on interpreting andunderstanding the experience, NOT just describing it

-Based on philosophy of Heidegger


-Bracketing does NOT occur


-Supplementary data sources are usedTexts, artistic expressions

Grounded Theory
-Focuses on the discovery of a basicsocial psychological problem that a defined group of people experience

-Generates a theory that explains apattern of behaviour thatis problematic and relevant to study participants


-Has theoretical roots in symbolic interactionism-Focuses on the manner in which peoplemake sense of social interactions and the interpretations they attach to socialsymbols


Grounded Theory continued...
Primary data sources:○In-depthinterviews○observations

-Data collection, analysis, and samplingoccur simultaneously


-Constant comparison used to develop andrefine categories

Development of Grounded Theory
-Glaser and Strauss started GroundedTheorythey developed the explanatory theorylinking related conceptsthen they disagreed

-The Strauss and Corbin got together anddeveloped a different Grounded Theory about full conceptual descriptionsaimed at describing the full range of behaviour ofwhat is occurring, regardless of relevance.

Other Types of Qualitative Research
Historical Research; Inductive Thematic Analysis; Case Study; Discourse/Conversation Analysis; Narrative Analysis; Mixed Method

Ideological perspectives

-critical theory


-feminist research


-participatory action research

Critical Theory Research
-Action oriented

-concerned with critique of existing social structures


-Inquiries that foster enlightenment


-Start with thorough analysis of theproblem and involves collaboration with participants


- Aims to make people aware of differencesand contradictions in their beliefs and social practices (eg. advocating)

Feminist Research

-Focuses on how gender domination anddiscrimination shape women’s lives and their consciousness

-Aim is to end women’s unequal socialposition


-Aim is to reduce all power differentials

Participatory Action Research (PAR)
-Produces knowledge through closecollaboration with groups or communities that are vulnerable to control oroppression

-Collaboration between researchers andstudy participants in the definition of the problem, and the research process


-Empowering people through knowledge
