Theoretical framework

Identifies and discusses logically the major theories and show relationship of the framework with the research problem

Research questions

Discusses clearly and briefly the main problem

Reserach method

Clearly describes and explains the essence of using the qualitative research

Data gathering procedure

Clearly describes the process of gathering data, the role of researcher in the collection procedure

Clearly aligned with the research questions

Field research

- determined as a qualitative method of data collection

- aims to observe, interact, and understand people while they are in their natural environment (participants behavior occurs naturally, not artificially)

- direct observation

- limited participations

- analysis of documents

1. To observe

2. To analyze the specific behavior

What is the end objective of field research?

Direct observation

- data is collected via observational method/ subjects in natural environment

- behavior is not interfered by the researcher

1. Actual observation on people interaction, situation, and surroundings

2. Usually in public setting but not in private environment

What is the advantage of direct observation

Participant observation

- researcher is deeply involved in the research process

- researcher is not just purely an observer but also a participant

- also conducted in natural environment but the researcher is involved

- researcher live in the environment of the participant of the research design

Ethnography

expanded observation of social research and social perspective and the cultural value of an entire setting

Case study

- case research

- in-depth analysis of a person, situation, or event

- simplest way of conducting research as it involves a deep dive and thorough understanding in the data collection methods

What is the central objective of Interpretative Phenomenological Approach?

1. Provide an in-depth explanation of people’s lived experience

Inductive

use open- ended questions rather than having hypothesis

Idiographic

• works at individual level

• individuals actively interprets their experiences and their world

Individual’s lived experience

What is the main concern of IPA?

Research information, consent to participate
