Chapter 3:lesson 3: Justification and Reasons For Conducting Qualitative Research

The document discusses justification for conducting qualitative research. It lists several potential purposes of qualitative studies such as understanding lack of self-confidence in adolescents, the impact of social networking, and the causes and treatment of health issues. It then provides a checklist for justifying qualitative research that includes ensuring the research method is explained, assumptions are stated, and raw data connects findings to the real world. Finally, it discusses factors like credibility, transferability, dependability, and conformability that ensure qualitative research is properly justified when the design is well-explained, questions are answered, and data collection and analysis are thorough.

Justification and Reasons for


Conducting Qualitative Research
Intent or Purpose of the Study

adolescents and to determine ways of addressing or solving said
problem
• the impact of social networking in addressing or solving said
problem

Factors that justify Conduct of Qualitative Research

Credibility. This refers to the “truth value” of the qualitative


study, its applicability, consistency and neutrality.

Validity. This refers to an in-depth description that shows the


complexities of variables and the embedding of interactions in
data derived from the setting.

Transferability. This is the applicability of one set of findings


to another context. Under this factor is triangulation which is
the act of bringing more than one source of data to bear on a
single point.
Factors that justify Conduct of Qualitative Research

• Dependability. This is the researchers’ attempts to account


for changing conditions in the phenomenon chosen for study,
as well as change in the design created by increasing refined
understanding of the setting.

• Conformability. Answers the following question: Do the data


help confirm the general findings and lead to implications?
Credibility, transferability, dependability &
conformability are assured when:

the research design is well-explained

assumptions are stated

there is evidence much evidence from raw


data to show the connection between the
findings presented and the real world
Credibility, transferability, dependability &
conformability are assured when:

the research questions are stated

the research study answers those


questions and leads to further questions

when data collection strategies are


efficient
Credibility, transferability, dependability &
conformability are assured when:

evidences are presented

different methods are used to check the


findings

participant observations are made of a full


cycle of activities over a period of time
Credibility, transferability, dependability &
conformability are assured when:

data are preserved and available


for analysis

field work analysis is fully


documented

when meaning is derived from


cross-cultural perspectives
