Understanding the Pros and Cons of Qualitative Research

Qualitative research design is advantageous in that first, the researcher is flexible. Secondly, the research is extensive, resulting in an in-depth understanding, especially, if there is little information on the topic of interest. Third, qualitative research can combine different forms of data which are then reviewed and organized to cover all the data sources used.

Qualitative research has the advantage of having many perspectives from the different forms of data being brought together to informed deductions about the topic of study. One of the drawbacks of using qualitative research is that there are lower chances of study design being replicated. Another major disadvantage of qualitative research is that the researcher is flexible and with less control, hence, it becomes difficult to check and control the researcher’s bias. In case you are unable to decide which design to use, you can hire an expert qualitative research writer from our company to help you.

Developing a Topic and Research Questions

The first step to developing a topic for a quantitative dissertation, thesis, or capstone project is identifying a research problem within the area you intend to study. You then explore existing literature from other researchers around that problem to obtain ideas for your research. From the obtained ideas, you come up with possible topics from which you select the most suitable one to focus on your research study. When choosing the topic, consider your qualifications as a researcher, the costs involved, the time it would take to complete the research study, and your overall interest in the research study. The topic should be at most two lines, which is about twelve words long and attractive to the reader.

In qualitative research, research questions are used instead of hypotheses. The research questions are designed in a way that there is a central question followed by sub-questions. To come up with the central questions, you should refer to your research problem and topic and come up first with a broad question. Then, formulate open sub-questions to narrow the focus. The sub-questions can be used during interviews. The number of central questions should be one or two and should be followed by not more than five sub-questions. The qualitative research questions should be open, and hence, should start with words such as “what” or “how”. The verbs used should also indicate that you are exploring a specific area of research.

Collection, Analysis, and Interpretation of Qualitative Data

(1). Sampling

The process of selecting a sample in qualitative research is based on your judgment depending on who could provide you with the best information. Qualitative research is exploratory and non-probability sampling designs are used. Some of the sampling techniques include purposive sampling, snowball sampling, accidental sampling, judgmental sampling, and expert sampling. The next step after sampling is data collection.

(2). Data Collection

The first step in data collection for a qualitative dissertation is identifying the selected sites and participants to understand the research problem. Then identify the type or types of data you want to collect, indicating in your dissertation the strengths and weaknesses of the particular data collection types you choose. It is important for you to also include other data types that you might use besides interviews and observations. The main methods used for collecting data in a qualitative dissertation are unstructured interviews, observation, secondary sources such as documents, and qualitative audio materials.

In cases of unstructured interviews, you are required to construct specific research instruments to be used to conduct the study. This could involve coming up with an interview guide to achieve good coverage of the area of study and also to help compare the information received from the participants. Another important part of data collection in qualitative research is the recording process of the data. Data collected by observation is recorded using the observational protocol, while responses in a qualitative interview are recorded using an interview protocol. It is also important for you to write notes besides audiotaping and videotaping.

(3). Data Analysis (NVivo) and Final Manuscript Write-Up

Once you have collected the data, you transcribe it - if it is in audio form, and analyze it. The process of analyzing data in qualitative research begins by organizing and then, reading through the data. You then code the data manually or using computer software. We use the Nvivo software for coding and analysis, therefore many students who have challenges in analyzing qualitative data prefer to use our NVivo data analysis services for dissertation, thesis, or capstone project.

Nvivo has rich text capabilities and character-based coding that is important for managing qualitative data. Nvivo software is also compatible with a variety of qualitative research designs and data analysis methods because it is not method-specific. The use of Nvivo in data processing helps you save time used in transcription and improves the speed and accuracy of the data analysis process.

The coded data is then categorized into themes that are then presented using descriptions. You can use figures, tables, or models to discuss the data. Once data has been analyzed, it is then interpreted. Interpretation draws meaning from the analyzed data. You can interpret data based on your past experience or culture. The interpretation can also be done by comparing your findings to the available literature whereby, the analysis could either support or refute past information. This results in further questions or a call for changes in existing knowledge.

The final stage of writing qualitative research involves writing the whole manuscript, editing, and proofreading it to ensure it meets publication standards.
