| DESCRIPTION | This workshop will introduce the principles of qualitative research to candidates in a variety of domains. An outline of the research strategy principles of qualitative research will be provided and will be followed by a discussion on the five key traditions of qualitative research in several research contexts: grounded theory, ethnomethodology, narrative studies, ethnography and hermeneutic approaches. Outcomes: By the end of this workshop, doctoral researchers should be able to: - locate and justify qualitative research across the four different types of research strategies (inductive, deductive, retroductive and abductive); - distinguish between the five traditions of qualitative research; - envisage the requirements for effective conduct of research in any one of the five traditions of qualitative research; - justify each tradition depending on the nature of the research question; - identify the data basic premises for effective data collection in each of these traditions. |
