Activity 6.3 Blog Qualitative Research
After reviewing the links for qualitative research I feel I have a better understanding of how it is used and why. There are many forms of research that can be used such as verbal, tactile, and visual to name a few. Using different methods can help me get a better result from my research. This includes different descriptions like field notes, recordings (audio and video), open ended interviews, pictures and film.
In the selecting process, I want to be sure I am using variations and comparing different types of cases like typical vs. non typical to get a well-rounded result. By using different research roles and putting myself in these roles as the teacher, student and writer I will be able to use my perspective to gather information from every angle.
I feel that the data collection phase is the most important phase. Keeping a running account what I find, how I feel about what I find and a description of the methods I use will keep me on track and possibly point me in another direction. In taking notes and being able to make changes to these as I am writing them up will give me the ability to expand on my ideas. By comparing the different methods used I will be able to see if there is something I may have missed during the process.
