Qualitative Research

understanding the meaning individuals or groups ascribed to a social or human problem; an attempt to understand the world as lived; encompasses studies about how an individual consider a particular experience and how they reflect on it; aims to explore human phenomena

Qualitative Reseach

concepts; interpreted as themes; product of individual interviews; no statistical analysis; researcher can analyze experiences using words, phrases, and texts guided by own understanding

Quantitative Research

testing objective theories by examining the relationship among variable; hypothesized, interpreted as relations

Mixed Approach

involves collecting both Qualitative and Quantitative data, and integrating the two forms of data

Conceptualization Phase

A phase in the research process where topic is identified, propose literature reviews, and identifying the ‘Central Question’

Design Phase

A phase in the research process where researcher decide on the detailed procedures in gathering and analyzing data; how, where, and when the study will be conducted and analyzed

Empirical Phase

A phase in the research process where data is gathered and collected; in qualitative studies, respondents are also known as key informants or coresearchers; interviews and focus group discussions (FGD) are commonly employed with the use of the interview guides or ‘Aide Memoire’

Analytical Phase

A phase in the research process where data is prepared and assessed through the use of tools and the researchers’ own understanding as supported by his belief and previous researches published in the same area of interest

Analytical Phase in Qualitative Studies

A phase in the research process where interviews texts are being delimited to manageable statement and thematized; a model (or Simulacrum) is being produced to summarize an understanding of the these in the study

Dissemination Phase

A phase in the research process that is the most valuable; results are advised to be shared to the general public if not on the specific population or professional groups that can benefit from its result

Research Manuscripts

A phase in the research process where the final output is produced written and/or soft copy file form; follows specific research content guidelines and format
