o Term for a wide variety of approaches to and methods for
the study of natural social life
(current trends in society, perception)
o Information/ data is collected and analyzed
o Primarily but not exclusively non quantitative in
character consisting of textual materials such as:
- Interview transcripts
- Fieldnotes
- Documents
- Visual materials : artifacts, photographs, video
recording, internet sites
That document human experiences ofothers &/or one’s
self in social action & reflective states
(what is happening in society supported by research)
life, dining patterns, preferred
friendships, attitude towards
classes and scheduling
You will meet people who think alike but they are still completely
different because of how they are brought up – subculture
2) Grounded Theory
- methodology of meticulously analyzing qualitative in
order to understand human processes and construct
theory
That is, theory grounded in the data
or constructed “ from the ground up “
- originated from mid-1960s
Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss
(studied illness and dying)

4) CASE STUDY

- Focuses on a single unit for analysis – one person, one

group, one event, one organization and so on.

- The genre serves as a reasonably manageable

holistic project for novices to qualitative research to
learn basic methods of fieldwork, data collection, and
analysis

- Not necessarily to develop an argument for how the

single case represents or reflects comparable individual
or sites

- Unlike studies that research a large number of settings

or participants to gather a broader and more
representative spectrum of perspectives, the case study
in and of itself is valued as a unit that permits in-depth
examination

You study something in depth then the results will represent it as

whole
