RESEARCH METHODOLOGY CHART (ACTIVITY 7)

Individual Methodology Description

Student Name Gaby Alexandra Gonzalez Sepulveda
Date 21/ April /2020
Type of research Methodology Qualitative Research
Phases of the methodology Preparatory Phase: The Reflective and Design stages materialize in a
Theoretical-Conceptual Framework and in the planning of the activities that
will be executed in the later phases.
Relevant sources for the origin of the definition of the research area:

 Daily life, what worries people.

 Concrete experiences that are significant
 The contrast with other specialists.
 Reading work of other researchers.

phase: field work

"Qualitative research will be as good as the researcher."

“You must be prepared to trust the stage; Be patient and wait until the
informants accept it; be flexible and have the ability to adapt and "laugh at yourself"
“It is necessary to be persistent, the investigation is carried out step by step,
the data is verified again and again, verified, verified; doubts arise, and
confusion must be overcome.”

Access to the field

"It is understood as a process by which the researcher progressively accesses the
fundamental information for his study"

“In the first moments of the investigation, the observations may not be completely
focused, and it is necessary for the researcher to learn in the first days who is who and
who builds an outline or map of the participants in the place and a map in the
distribution stage physics "

“Two strategies that are generally used at this time are to wander and build maps.
The first involves an informal approach, even before the initial contact, to the scenario
that is carried out through the collection of prior information about it: what
characterizes it, external appearance, opinions, characteristics of the area and the
environment, etc. The second strategy implies a formal approach from which social,
spatial and temporal schemes of the interactions between individuals and institutions
are constructed: personal and professional characteristics, competencies, operational
organizational charts, schedules, use of spaces, type of activities, etc. "

“To collect and record information, the qualitative researcher will use different
observation systems (video recordings, newspapers, unstructured observations) to
survey (in-depth interviews, group interviews) documents of various types, materials
and utensils, etc. At first this the information gathering will be extensive, collecting
everything. It will progressively focus on much more specific information. "

“Qualitative research is basically carried out in a context of personal interaction. The

roles played by the researcher and the elements of the social unit under study are the
result of a progressive definition and negotiation. In this way, the researcher assumes
different roles (researcher, participant) according to their degree of participation. On
the other hand, the subjects that are part of the scenario also define their role
according to the degree to which they provide information (goalkeepers, key
informants, informants and assistant, confidant or trafficker of strangers) "

Collection of productive data.

“During this stage it is necessary to guarantee the rigor of the investigation. For this
we must consider the criteria of sufficiency and adequacy of the data. Sufficiency
refers to the amount of data collected, rather than the number of subjects. Sufficiency
is reached when it reaches a state of "information saturation" and the new information
does not provide anything new. The adequacy refers to the selection of information
according to the theoretical needs of the study and the emerging model”

Analytical Phase

“These tasks would be: a) reduction of data b) Disposition and transformation of data
and c) obtaining results and verification of conclusions.”

Informative phase

The qualitative report should be a convincing document presenting the data

systematically that support the case of the researcher and refute the alternative
explanations. There are two fundamental ways of writing a report:

a) as if the reader were solving a puzzle with the researcher

b) offer a summary of the main findings and then present the results that support the
conclusions.”
 “The qualitative researcher can be seen as a tireless interpretive critic”
