Las 1: Choosing the Appropriate Qualitative Research Design

Task 3
1. What is a research design?
• A design in the field of research serves as blueprint or a skeletal framework of
your study. A choice of a research design requires you to finalize your mind
on the purpose, philosophical basis, and types of data of your research,
including your method of collecting, analyzing, interpreting and presenting a
data. It is a plan that directs your mind to several stages of your research
work (De Mey, 2013). In, addition, according to Barrot (2017), research
design is defined as the logical and coherent overall strategy that the
researcher uses to integrate all the components of the research. It will give
meaning in the overall process of your research.

2. How do the five (5) types of research design differ from each other?

1) Case Study
• the study of an individual or group of persons during a specific period, to gain
deeper insight on a phenomenon, validate earlier findings, or gather more
deeper-seated data.

2) Ethnography
• an integrative study between research participants and researcher who stays
in the natural setting of the former over an extensive period to systematically
observe, interview and record processes, as they occur naturally in the site.

3) Content Analysis
• detailed and systematic examination of the contents of the body of materials –
choice and use of words, the relationships of words and their meanings- from
which concepts, images, patterns or themes are drawn.

4) Phenomenological Study
• focuses on the understanding the underlying meaning of the experience of
the research participant from his/her own viewpoint and perspective.

5) Historical Study
• tells you the right research method to determine the reasons for changes or
permanence of things in the physical world in certain period.

6) Grounded Theory
• aims to glean a general abstract theory of a process, or interaction grounded
in views of research participants.
