This week our class has two readings. The first reading is called, An Introduction to Qualitative Research and the second reading is called Situating Narrative Inquiry.
An Introduction to Qualitative Research was broken down into different sections. the first section is about the nature of qualitative research, the second is about the different research designs, the third is about the methods collecting qualitative data, the fourth is handling qualitative research data, the fifth is analyzing qualitative results, and the sixth section focuses on presenting the results of qualitative research. After reading the article I realized qualitative research answers questions using why, how, and what way. These are forms of questions that I use on a daily basis to find answers. Quantitative research answers with how much, how many, how often, and to what extent. These are questions that I always use and never realized there was a reason behind using them.
The next reading is called Situating Narrative Inquiry was a very interesting article. When writing in narrative you need to be consistent because it will be confusing for the reader to be going back and forth. I learned that narrative inquiry there are four components to make a narrative.
1. a change in the relationship between the person conducting the research and the person participating as the subject.
2. a move from the use of number toward the use of words as data.
3. a change from a focus on the general and universal toward the local and specific
4. a widening in acceptance of alternative epistemologies or ways of knowing
After reading this article, I think this will be really helpful for our upcoming project.
