they would act in a way they would normally act. Therefore, there is higher validity because the participant would not be able to change their behaviour to make themselves look better because they have no idea. Another advantage is it allows the researcher to gain more in-depth and detailed information about the group they are observing because they are undercover and unaware so they would be able to find out more detail because the participants are unaware they would not change their behaviour.…

Participants in the study do not have to be random, rather they can be hand picked by the researcher for specific purposes. Qualitative research provides researchers a way to understand individual perspectives and develop in-depth understandings. Many guidelines are outlined in chapters 7 and 8 (Creswell, 2015, p. 203-264) to ensure researchers employ scientific measures to ensure quality qualitative…

challenges researchers should have faced while undertaking empirical work on babies and young children. Researchers have to consider those challenges such as ethics, consents, communication, funding, rewards and budget etc while they are doing hypothesis and planning. Moreover, there are two sides of perspective when processing an empirical work, one is participants ' performance, the others is from the experiences of how the questions asked and the understanding of the answer of researchers…

these unethical experiments, researchers had to find test subject. The issue was that not many people would risk their life for the “greater good”. Therefore, researchers found alternate ways to obtain their human subjects. From trickery to deception, researchers did whatever they deemed necessary in order to get their subject. Most subjects were random unless they were finding subjects that have a certain disease or characteristic. One key thing that researchers did was that they usually…

both types of research seek valid and reliable results (Park & Park, 2016, p. 4). In qualitative research, the researcher takes on a more personal role with the participants. “The role of qualitative researcher is all-inclusive” (Shoukat, Waheed, & Waheed, 2016, p. 1498) where according to Creswell (1998) the researcher “undertakes qualitative research in a natural setting where the researcher is an instrument of data collection who gathers words or pictures, analyzes them inductively, focuses…

people may argue it is unethical to conduct researches with children. Children are vulnerable and easily be influenced by surroundings such as environment, their peers, and even the researchers. They have the characteristics of plasticity. Their perspectives, beliefs, and views may be easily impacted or changed. The researchers may unintentionally or unconsciously affect children’s perspectives and behaviors (Morrow, 2008). Even people who realize the importance of research with children, they…

of an ethnography design because the researchers are not trying to understand the culture of the group, rather they are trying to understand the adolescents’ perspectives about a phenomenon (Sheperis, Young, & Daniels, 2010). In addition, this design is different from an ethnography design because the researchers are not immersing themselves into the culture that is being studied or using observation (Sheperis, Young, Daniels, 2010). Instead, the researchers are using focus-groups to gather the…

The use of the ethnography in this study means researchers usually refers to detailed and long-term observational studies, also known as “participant observation.” These involve the researcher living within a community for a lengthy period, observing members’ daily life, their beliefs, and their practices, with the aim of understanding the worldview of its members (Helman, 2001). In the study, researchers visit the three communities weekly for six-months each. They observe all events occur among…

Method To research this study, the researcher analyzes a religious community through a “thick, rich description” (Geertz, 2001, p. 312). In this regard, the researcher collects the data, respectively, by interacting with the participants as a newcomer, observing communication and conversations among the members, and jotting down the descriptions of the atmosphere and settings in detail in the researcher’s private note. Overall, this section is divided into the following three sub categories:…

describing life experiences, (Creswell, 2014). In a qualitative study it is important for the researcher to develop the study based on the participant’s perspectives, their issues or problems, (Creswell, 2014). The researcher should conduct interviews that are based on open-ended questions to illicit an unprovoked response, (Creswell, 2014). This will ensure that the study is not is derived from the researchers perception of the problem. According the author, there are four methods of…
